Introduction to Print Class Output

You can use a Print Class to configure the output for Discounts, Service Charges, and Tender Media. This enables multiple records with a single Print Class, meaning you can define the output settings once rather than separately for each record.

A Print Class is automatically created for every Discount, Service Charge, and Tender Media record. The Print Class field automatically defaults to the Print Class created for these records on the General tab in the Discounts, Service Charges, and Tender/Media modules.

There are four basic print class output destinations:

1. Receipts

   Receipts print at the workstation at the end of a fast transaction. They are typically used in a quick service restaurant (QSR) environment where ordering menu items and tendering the check is performed in the same service round.

2. Guest Checks

   Guest checks print at the workstation. They are typically used in a table service restaurant (TSR) environment. Checks usually include a table number or guest name and are service totalled several times before final tender.

3. Order Devices

   Order devices are remote kitchen or bar printers, or KDS devices. These devices deliver the order to the production area from the workstation.

4. Journal

   The journal is not a physical device, but an electronic file journal that provides audit capabilities in the application.
