Service Total and Print functions close a waste check
When menu item waste occurs, authorized workstation operators can begin a menu item waste check and then enter menu items to waste or donate. Managers can generate waste reports by revenue center, menu item, employee, and waste reason. Depending on the reasons for waste, managers can take action to reduce inventory loss. You can differentiate waste checks from other checks in the Employee Journal Report and the Check Journal Report by the Waste Check banner on the check header.
