  2. In the Equal Payment window, enter the number of equal payments in the check (ranging from 2–99).
    For example, to divide a check into three equal partial payments, select 3.
  3. After entering the number of equal payments, the notification area at the top of the screen displays the amount due for the current equal partial payment and the total number of equal partial payments.
    When over tendering a cash equal payment, a change dialogue is also shown in the notification area. Rounding differences are then applied to a partial equal payment.
  4. After payment finalization, the guest check and customer receipts print, detailing the menu items, subtotal, tax, total due and each equal partial payment amount including tips or change.
    When using Cash Over Tender as an equal partial payment, the cash payment and change due will be printed on the receipt.
    When using Credit Authorization as an equal partial payment, the amount due will be printed on the receipt.
