35. Table Assignment
It has become a requirement in the restaurant market to allow operators to see quickly
the status of each table, if it open, closed or if the bill has been printed allowing
operators to make a visible decision on how long tables will be open for. It also displays
the Table Name and last server number. If the Table in question is selected it will be
opened ready for more items to be ordered. On a network system the tables status is
transferred from each machine to all other machines in the system.

to send the gratuity value within the exported Transaction file (CASHRSP). Using the
new functionality it is possible to output the gratuity amount on both Ver3 & Ver4 of the

37. Card Number Check by Payment Method
(Non Chip and Pin only)
Some customers require the breakdown of credit card transactions to be done at the
POS. If using Commidea it is normal to have a single payment method for credit.
However this means that only a single Payment Method will be reported on the Close
Session and End of Day. The alternative is to have different payment methods for each
Card Type and, although each one will be reported the operators could use any button
for any card as the POS cannot restrict a card to a Payment Method. To ensure only
specific cards can be used by a payment method a new feature has been added. This
will allow cards to be rejected by the POS if they are not valid via the Payment Method
in question. The best example being AMEX and other cards needing to be separated.

PAYMETH.TXT. This file sets which cards can be read by each method of payment. The
file can be edited using the DOS file editor EDIT. The file contents should be set-up as
follows :-
