Book Period – Example: Waiter

The following example illustrates the interaction between the switches /the buttons Act. Date is Book Date, New Shift and New Day.

The book period of a day on the branch and profit center level lasts from 5.00 pm - 03.00 am. From 00.00 - 03.00 am, everything will be booked in the previous day.

The waiter works from 5.00 pm - 11.00 pm.

The switch Act. Date is Book Date in the program Profit Center must not be activated since there are to be bookings beyond the date change (in the example: June 1.

Bookings that are carried out on June 2 between 0.00 and 03.00 am will be booked in June 1. In the programs Profit Center and Branch, the New Day will be activated only at 03.00 am by a click on the button of the same name. With the first booking on the next day, everything will then be booked in the new day, i.e. in the new book period. Thus, no book period will be established on closing days.

Via the button New Shift, a new shift for the waiter will be opened (between 11.01 pm and 16.59 pm).
