Drink
Dispenser
Different drink dispensers
from other manufacturers such as coffee machines or beer taps can be connected
to the system units.
At the moment, the
connections of the following drink dispensers are supported by the system:
Beverage dispensers can be
operated in two different operation modes, Self Service
and Supervised Dispensing.
- Self
Service
In self service operation mode, all articles can be drawn unlimitedly at
the dispensers as soon as a waiter is signed on. The self service mode is
only meaningful when the terminal is set up with a table number system,
i.e., guest checks are used. In this case, the dispenser should only be
released after a table number has been entered, so that the article sold
can be settled at the terminal.
Please note that any restrictions to the waiter relating to the table
number, profit center, etc. will not be checked by the dispensers and are
therefore irrelevant here.
Items are linked to drink dispensers via tables which can differ at every
terminal. Therefore, the internal item no. of the drink dispenser can be
converted to an item no. of the terminal for each device in operation mode
Self-service. Drink dispenser recordings which cannot be linked in the system
during the validity check are booked on so-called default tables,
operators and items.
- Supervised
Dispensing (credit debit mode)
In the operation mode of supervised dispensing, the dispenser is only
released when a corresponding article has been posted at the cash
register. This is basically a normal sales posting, therefore, all the
defined restrictions, such as table number restriction for waiters, are
applicable.
Items are linked to drink dispensers via tables which can differ at
every terminal. This
means that the same item can be dispensed per terminal at different drink
dispensers in operation mode Supervised dispensing.
