Bill Splitting allows your guests to split a bill between multiple variations to give everyone the chance to pay what is required of them.
The bill can be split in 4 different ways, which are by Fraction, Amount, Cover and Quantity, or a combination of each.
Split by Fraction
Splitting the details by fractions are done as follows:
Access the Table Details screen > Select the Fraction (Either by pre-programmed or custom) > Select items individually to apply to or by Select All > the PAY button will display the fraction against all selected items.
You can either press the preselected fraction buttons (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8), or you can press the "Fraction" button and enter a fraction you want to use.
Split by Amount
Split by Amount is performed from the Table Details screen > Select the Amount in $ > Apply that amount to as many items you wish up to the value selected > The PAY button will display the amount selected, while the items can be paid as part thereof that amount.
The amount button will count down from the initial amount entered as items are selected.
Split by Cover
Split by Cover is performed from the Table Details screen > Select the 1/Covers button > Apply that amount to as many items you wish > The PAY button will display the amount selected.
The Covers will also work as a fraction split.
Split by Quantity
This is used when items have been accumulated when adding them to the table, and the customer would like to only pay for a selected quantity that was originally ordered.
Press the Quantity button > Enter the figure > Select the items they want to pay > Pay.
Combination Splitting
It is possible if required to split items using a combination of techniques.
Although this is more time consuming, the operator must be proficient in using the split function.
The example below uses the Quantity, Fraction and Amount split functions over 3 separate items in the sale.
The Cappuccino item was split using the Quantity function (Press Quantity > Enter 1 > Press Enter > Select Cappuccino).
The Flat White item was split using the 1/5 Fraction function (Press 1/5 > Select Cappuccino).
The Short Black item was split using an amount of 2.00 with the Amount function (Press Amount > Enter the amount > Enter > Select Short Black).
It is not possible to split an item both with a Fraction and an Amount in the same transaction.
Once the split transaction has been finalised, the item can then be split in a different fashion.
When Items have been partially paid, the Outstanding column will reflect the outstanding or remaining amount that is still due to be paid.
In addition, when there is more than 1 quantity of any particular item ordered and a portion of that item has been paid, the outstanding or remaining quantity will be shown in brackets next to the item.
The original quantity ordered will also be shown without brackets.
This will enable the Clerk to easily identify the initial quantity ordered as well as the remaining quantity which can be used for calculations and/or can be conveyed to the customer(s) seated at the table.
