Setting the Front of House to Allow Pay at the Table

Depending on the property’s Pay at the Table (PATT) payment methods, you need to create the following PATT buttons for the Front of House page:

• PATT Credit Card – Create this button if the property allows credit card payments with PATT

• PATT Room Charge – Create this button if the property allows room charges with PATT

1. In the EMC, select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration and Page Design.
2. Open the Front of House page on which to place Pay at the Table buttons.
3. On the Edit tab, select the page area in which to define the Pay at the Table functions (typically the payment area).
4. Click Button.
5. On the General sub-tab, enter the button name in the Legend field.
6. Select Function from the Type drop-down.
7. Click the black arrow directly beneath the Type drop-down and select Pay at the Table.
8. Highlight the PATT button.
9. Click the Pay at the Table Config button.
10. (Optional) Select Enable Tip Screen, and enter the Default Tip Percent value. The tip percentage appears to the guest. If you do not want the tip screen to appear to guests, deselect Enable Tip Screen.
11. (Optional) Select Enable Share Payment and enter the Default Share Payment group sizes (for example, 2, 3, 4). This is the default number of people that can share the payment. (If a different number of people want to share payment, the guest can enter the number.) Deselect Enable Share Payment if you do not want guests to share check payment.
12. (Optional) If you want to use Pay at the Table in demonstration mode, select Demo Payment. This allows sales executives to demonstrate Pay at the Table features to clients without needing a magnetic card or reader. Deselect Demo Payment to use Pay at the Table live at a property.
