Release 2023.12 

The following Back Office features are now launched in the Ver. 6.9 Restaurant Solution Point of Sale update:

Limit open checks and refund amounts for an employee

Security options can help you limit lost revenue by providing additional restrictions on higher risk Point of Sale application functionality.  In Employees > Security Controls, you can choose to limit the number of checks an employee can have open at one time and limit the maximum refund amount an employee can process during a shift or for a ticket, or both. A supervisor can override these restrictions if needed.  

The Refund Limit Override access enables employees to override the maximum refund amount.

NOTE:
if the refund value is set to $0.00 or blank, employees can perform unlimited refunds.

Limit employee tip adjustments per shift
Limits the number of tip adjustments an employee can perform in a shift. If the limit is reached, the Point of Sale app will prompt for a manager override to complete a tip adjustment.

Refer to the Back Office Payment Method Configuration article for more information.

Paid breaks configuration

Configure breaks for employees and assign employees. Refer to Back Office Break Configuration for more information.

Gratuity configuration

Gratuity is configured either in percentage or in the amount. When configured, gratuity automatically adds the set tip percentage based on the number of guests per order. The amount can be configured to display on the gratuity list on the POS device, however, it is applied manually for each order. Refer to Back Office Gratuity for Restaurant Solution

Connection status enhancement

The connection status of the POS device is now easier to view. Refer to Restaurant Point of Sale App Payment Terminal Connection Status
