Waiter tills
Note: the DevyPOS interface is currently available in German and English. Screen labels quoted here are the English ones.
Where several people work in service, each of them runs their own till. At the end of the shift everything is settled – traceably, without argument.
1. The three states
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open orders | Rung up, not yet paid |
| Collected, not settled | The money is with the waiter |
| Settled today | The money has been handed to the main till |
2. Settling
- At the till tap Drivers, choose the Staff sale tab and pick the person in the selection field.
- Under Collected, not settled you see the payments with their payment method; Owes (cash) is the cash expected from the ticked payments. Cashless payments do not count there and only appear separately as Cashless on the staff settlement.
- All collected payments are ticked; for a partial settlement in between, untick individual ones. Under Handed over (€) enter what is actually handed over (empty = cash expected), then tap Settle – managers and admins may do this.
- Settle books the handover as a deposit into the cash book (shown in the finance report as Waiter settlements (transfer only), because the money is already included under Cash collected) and shows the Staff settlement on screen: cash expected, Cashless, handed over, the Difference if there is one – and the line Amount received — signature.
3. Moving orders
If somebody takes over a table, the order moves to the right till under Open orders with Reassign to … – the management and the waiter currently serving the table may do this. Orders already paid cannot be reassigned. Only the assignment changes: receipts and revenue stay untouched; the action appears in the day journal as Reassigned.
The waiter settlement does not replace a payroll. It only records how much money was handed over. For drivers’ hours and wages there is the driver settlement.
