4.

EFTNOCHK=1 This line will allow the POS when in Manual Key entry mode only to
prompt for relevant information. i.e Start Date, End Date Issue Number. If the Card
type does not need Start Date it will not be prompted for. Care should be taken as if
the set sequence is changed it may cause problems of consistency with operators. N.B
if the line is active the feature is DISABLED - Not Compulsory

5.

EFTMAXCHAN=10 This line sets the number of active channels per POS. It should
be left at 10 unless for specific reasons. The DOS version allowed 16 per system, so
this at 10 should be more than enough. - Compulsory

6.

EFTACC=001 This setting is not used, the Account will be set to 001 as default if this
line is not removed. Use only on multi account sites. - Not Compulsory

7.

EFTOCCPATH=nnnnn This line defaults to a sub setting of EFTREQ if it is changed
for any reason it should be the same as EFTREQ with \POS. - Not Compulsory

8.

EFTCASHBACK=n,m - This line allows Cashback on the POS terminal. See item 24

9.

EFTGRATUITY=1 - Allows Gratuity print on the Voucher

10.

Pmn=CNP This line allows entry of EFT transactions with the “Customer NOT
Present”. This should only be set with agreement from the Bank or Acquirer. It sets
the payment method to send the transaction as a Customer NOT Present. N is the
Payment Method Number - Not Compulsory

The operation has been left unchanged to allow easy conversion for customers. The same
functionality of Suspend etc are included as in the DOS Version. The only differences that
will be seen are 1. during Manually Keyed Transaction as in 4 above or if 2. a customer NOT
present Transaction is made or 3. The operator wishes to force a transaction on-line over
ruling the floor limit.

As it is possible when using the Waitermate Hand-Held Terminal that items sold at the
“Waitermate” POS terminal do not need to print at a Dispense Printer located at the POS
terminal, a new KP suppression feature has been introduced.

A POS terminal with two KP’s connected one for kitchen items and the other
for Bar dispense has a Waitermate Homebase connected. It is necessary that
items selected on the Waitermate need to print at the kitchen and also at the
Bar dispense, however items selected directly from the POS terminal need
only print in the kitchen.

In order to realise this function a new setting has been introduced in RINCS.CFG, as follows

REM V4********************WAITERMATE PROGRAMMING START******************

REM ============PORT SETTING============

REM To set the Port that the Waitermate Base Station is connected to
REM remove the # below and set n= Com Port Number

# WAITERMATE=n

REM ======WAITERMATE PRINT STATION======

REM To set which POS Terminal to send Waitermate Reciepts and Bills
REM remove the # below and set n= POS Terminal Number and
REM x= to the Waitermate Number (e.g To set Waitermate 1 to print at POS
REM Terminal 3 WMPRINT1=3)

# WMPRINTx=n

REM ======KP LOCAL SUPPRESSION=========

REM IN ORDER TO STOP DISPENSE PRINTING AT A LOCAL NODE WHEN USING THE
REM WAITERMATE SET KPSUPPRESS=n,n,n WHERE n IS THE KP NUMBER

REM *********************WAITERMATE PROGRAMMING END*********************

KPSUPPRESS=n,n – This setting suspends the use of the Dispense Printer at the local
machine, if more than one printer is required to be suppressed it is possible to set
multiple printers (i.e KPSUPPRESS=1,4 WILL SUPRESS KP1 & 4).

43

To realise table entry by Magnetic Card Swipe the Swipe for Table entry feature has been
introduced. The function allows new table opening and table addition to be performed.

To realise this function new settings are available in RINCS.CFG

REM V4.4***************MAGNETIC CARD FOR TABLE SET**********************

REM TO ALLOW THE OPENING OF A TABLE USING A MAGNETIC CARD
REM REMOVE THE REM STATEMENT BELOW

REM WHERE x=CARD START NUMBER AND y=NO OF DIGITS FOR TABLE NUMBER
REM EXAMPLE CARD NUMBER 12345001 WOULD SET AS 12345%3

REM TO SET AUTOMATIC COVERS REMOVE REM BELOW AND SET n=DEFAULT COVER COUNT
# SWIPECOVERS=1...................................................2

REM *******************MAGNETIC CARD FOR TABLE END**********************

Two settings are available :-

1.

TABLESWIPE=x%y - This setting selects the format of the card, this gives great
flexibility on the card types used. If the card chosen has a number 87347001 for room
1 and 87347003 for room 3 then the starting digits of 87347 are consistent for the site
it is only the last 3 digits that contain the room number. The setting for table swipe
would therefore be:-

TABLESWIPE=87347%3

2.

SWIPECOVERS=1 - When a table is entered the No of Covers are asked for. This
could be inconvenient in operation and the customer may not be interested in Cover
count. To by-pass this function remove the REM in front of SWIPECOVERS and add
the number of covers that are required on table entry. The default is 1.

The function can be used after clerk entry. If the card is swiped it will be opened with the
default no of covers if SWIPECOVERS is set and re-ordering will take place if the card is
swiped after clerk entry later. If SWIPECOVERS are not set then the POS will prompt for the
number of covers.

44

The existing POS software has a built in loyalty system. This system has now been enhanced
to allow Real Time operation allowing the redemption of values allowed by Back Office
Software. Card Balance checking has also been introduced.

1.

A new function (Function 78 - Loyalty Check)

2.

In FM under System Parameters as before Loyalty needs to be set to Yes

3.

As before it is necessary to set in Till Parameters in FM to select Auto Loyalty
Yes/No

4.

Payment Method 14 in Payment Types is now set to Loyalty Redemption. It should
NOT be set as Compulsory Tender

5.
