Our restaurant POS system has the 18% gratuity option for parties of 6 +, but actual % is 12.4%, is this legal?
Ok, so I waited on a table of 16 people and the bill w/o taxes was $305.00 and tip was $39.61...in my mind 18% is real close to 20% so, figured on about $60.00...even the person charging the bill mentioned it didn't look right! Asked my boss and he thought maybe minus taxes, I deducted that amount or maybe even the liquor portion of the bill...but the POS system is a USED system from SC and who knows what is programmed into that machine!! Boss convinced it adds on straight 18% but serving two large tables that night put me in a $50 deficit! Any ideas; ANY POS SMARTIES OUT THERE?
That makes no sense. Either it is 18 percent, or it is 12.4 percent. Can you explain?

Point of Sales software for Restaurants
POS Systems for Restaurants and Fast Food Chains
There are a lot of products which can be used in the restaurant or food franchising industry and one of them is through the use of the POS systems or Point of Sale systems. The Point of Sale system is considered as one of the most effective means of trading in restaurants and fast food chains because it not only increases the efficiency of waiters but would also decrease fraudulent activities among the employees. A feature of the POS systems when it comes to the food franchising industry is on taking orders from customers. Traditional trading consists of the use of a pen and an order list wherein the waitresses or waiters would take orders through listing the food ordered and then passing it through the cashier.
The use of order forms is an obsolete way in taking in orders since the cashier would still need to encode the orders to a cash register. If there would be a lot of customers involved, then listing the orders would take a lot of time. Customers who are busy would not wait for their turn since they would most likely have a busy schedule. The use of customer slips is also expensive since order slips would need to be printed and ordered from a printing shop regularly. In order to increase sales while at the same time connect the waiter with the cashier and the kitchen crew, a POS systems can be utilized. The waiter would use a Palm Pad in order to take orders from customers and the items would automatically be sent to the cashier and the kitchen crew.
By the time the cashier prints the receipt, the kitchen crew would already be cooking the food which would be served to the customer. The waiter would also have a lot more time to take orders from other customers since he would not need to submit the order forms anymore. Cashiers would also be truthful in their sales since the POS systems can be connected to a database system which is encrypted. The sales for each day would then be calculated by the machine and would be presented to the owner of the restaurant or establishment.

Serving Up Innovative Pizza POS Software Solutions
Leading Canadian pizza chain Pizza Nova has been satisfying hungry appetites with authentic Italian cuisine since 1963. When the time had come for an IT upgrade, they hoped to improve communications, increase efficiencies and save money at the same time. To acheive all this, they tapped restaurant point of sale software developer Volante Systems and their Pizza POS solution to do the job.
Volante's enterprise POS software is currently installed in 13 of 120 Pizza Nova restaurants, with plans to implement the software throughout the chain by two to three stores per month.
According to Merrilee Stoll, Director of Information Technology for Pizza Nova, the driving force to replace their former pizza POS system was to improve communications between the various stores and head office, and to take advantage of the cost savings offered by a point of sale system that was able to run on Linux. Volante stood out from other pizza software companies because it offered these advantages and more, which sealed the deal for Pizza Nova.
"Volante was one of the few point of sale systems out there that offered Linux functionality." says Stoll. "We were very interested in the cost savings that Linux offers, and not having to worry about the cost of proprietary software."
Linux POS software solutions are very attractive to many restaurant and hospitality operators these days, due to the ease of use and definite cost advantages that Linux offers.
Volante's multi-location, enterprise POS capability has also translated into greatly improved data reporting for Pizza Nova. "Volante enterprise allows us to see a repository of dates and to see everything we want to see from each of the stores." Stoll explains. "This information is very useful to have. I can tell you already that Volante has really improved on our data reporting functionality."
Volante offers clear and concise data reporting with its Data Synchronization feature. Data Synchronization enables databases to talk directly to each other. A single connection from Database one to Database two is established and outstanding data is sent asynchronously between them. Establishing a connection is a one step process thus eliminating any problems that can occur in-between. Since Volante is written in pure Java, all the information needed is generated in real time, quickly and easily. Restaurant owners and managers can now easily create custom reports and charts on demand, in real time, or save them for viewing at a later date if they wish.
Volante also provides the call centre order interface for Pizza Nova, where orders from the call centre are delivered instantly to the POS system at the restaurant. This new pizza POS software collaboration provides Pizza Nova restaurant operators a better and faster way to get orders to their stores, allowing them to efficiently grow their business through the use of leading edge technology.
"We used to have an in-house system," Stoll explains. "But now we're working towards two way communications between the store and the call centre. It also really helps with inventory control on a store level, for instance if the store is running out of cheese, they can communicate that to us right away and we can act on it immediately."
Another feature Volante offers is improved ordering capabilities for restaurant servers through the use of it's intuitive and user friendly touch screen POS terminals. Managing the many combos and pizza toppings has become much easier for Pizza Nova staff. Pizza Nova is now able to set up the same screens across all their stores, and keep them consistent.
Installing a state of the art pizza software solution has also provided the pizza chain with improved driver tracking, a feature that is especially important to Pizza Nova.
"With Volante, each driver is assigned to an individual order, we can track when the order left the store, and when the pizza is finally delivered." Adds Stoll. "This really helps when customers call to find out the status of their delivery, we can tell them exactly when it left the store, and the approximate time they should receive their order. To us, this is a huge thing, since it really improves overall communications at the store level and between customers."
Future plans for Pizza Nova include the utilization of Volante's wireless POS technology through it's mobile hand held devices and Volante's self-order, self-pay technology.
Sale Restaurant System What are some topics for a technical sales event presentation?
I have a project due for a global marketing business class, and were doing a technical salves event project. This is where we have our own line of products and have to sell our products to another business for them to sell. B to B. My group cannot think of a product line to sell? Something that will help improve our society, like security system in restaurants, or simple things like bicycle line (Please no sporting equipment, my whole class is doing that already.) Thanks!
That is a good idea, but the product has to be already invented we are simply saying it is our "line of products" to sell to another business
You are selling a portable platform that folds up so small that it fits in a purse or a pocket. When it is expanded, a person can stand on it. A person who is 5' tall can talk eye-to-eye with a 6' person. And women will no longer have to wear high heels to be taller.
And if you can find someone in your group to really invent this product, you will retire at the age of 30 because millions could be sold.

Point of Sale Systems: How you can control labor cost for your restaurant
Point of Sale Systems: How you can control labor cost for your restaurant
Before the age of POS systems, controlling labor in a food-service establishment was mostly an instinctive process. Having an effective labor control meant by being able to manage your staff during a rush to keep an ongoing operation and by sending them home respectively as the rush slowly descend.
In order to make projections of future sales, restaurant manager keeps track of their business for the past weeks and converted those numbers into an staff schedule. The success or failure of those efforts was determined at at night when the restaurant closes, the manager sat down with a stack of time cards and calculated the day's labor percentage.
Luckily today, manual tasks such as this is eliminated by using a restaurant point of sale (POS) system where managers no longer need to do things by hand.
Since the minimum wage sets to rise to $7.25 for a few years to come, business owners looks for tools they can use for controlling labor cost.
Jim Phillips general manager of a Pizza Inn restaurant, tracks down his daily labor record via the store's Point of Sale System. He uses a restaurant point of sale system from Pixel Point.
Check out your labor cost every 45 minutes or at any time of the day you want! You'll always get detailed and accurate reports anytime you want it. "I can pull it up on the terminal, hit labor cost and it tells me where my labor stands, or if I want to I can go into my hourly stats and look at those," says Phillips.
Using a restaurant POS system, you can easily view forecasted sales, actual sales and a variance between the two. It can even show scheduled hours versus actual hours for added convenience.
"The system tells me everything I need to know," Phillips said. "I can look at the POS and see the number of pickups for any given hour; the number of dine-ins and the number of buffets. It gives me my supervisor hours, my kitchen hours and my assistant's hours all in a breakdown."
An extra pair of eyes
Some POS reports show labor trends over time, and with this owners or district managers can track labor cost manager performance shift-to-shift, said the marketing manager of Speedline Solutions Jennifer Wiebe. This system also provide detailed reports on manual editing of time clock reports so you can easily spot potential abuse.
Time clock reports and schedules also can provide important documentation for labor board reviews of attendance-related employee terminations, she said.
And at the end of day, a POS system just like Phillips' can generate, export and integrate file reports of your payroll and staff information, store accounting systems or third-party payroll services.
The POS also can assist managers with employee-shift assignments by forecasting sales and generating a schedule based on those sales.
Using sales forecasting and labor planning, operators can schedule efficiently to meet their labor targets. Pixel Point's scheduling tool is linked with employee skills and availability that can speed up the scheduling process."
Hours and breaks restriction can easily be done through schedule- and time-clock alerts. The schedule can also include a built-in time clock that requires a manager override for untimely clock-ins and clock-outs.
Many operators set their clock-in and clock-out times very close, within 5 minutes.
"Employees can't clock in until 5 minutes before their scheduled shift or clock out late without a manager override. The system tells me if an employee is supposed to be off but he is still on the clock."
