The Maitre'D system can be interfaced with the Berg Infinity system, the Azbar bar system or the XML export (Scanabar).
Connect the Berg Infinity unit plug J902 (RS-232C) to a workstation serial port using a Null modem cable. The Berg unit should be loaded with the POS Interface software supplied by your Berg dealer.
Ask your Azbar dealer for the cable needed to connect the Azbar unit PRN plug to a serial port and connect this cable to a workstation serial port. The Azbar unit should be loaded with the POS Interface protocol software, supplied by your Azbar dealer.
Azbar has a permission file to let the Bar dispenser pour a shot only if it was ordered in Maitre'D first. To use this feature flag the option in System Configuration.
The export format will use XML files for sale transaction. These files are created in real time by the Back-Office when an order has been processed on any POS.
Select the bar system you're using.
Set the Interface drop down to the serial port used to connect to the bar unit. The Section field can be used to set revenue centers if you have more than one bar unit. Repeat this operation for each workstation that has a bar unit connected to it.
Set the section where this employee transaction will be reported. Each order by this employee will be reported in the programmed section, no matter the workstation the order is placed.
If you're using an Azbar system, you can also set the employee key number that this employee will use on the Azbar system. When the employee pours a drink from the Bar unit, the Azbar system will send the employee key used. When the employee is ordering a drink in the Maitre'D system, the key programmed here will be used to track how many pour and how many orders have been done.
Enable this option for this employee to have access to the bar report on the workstation.
On each pour, the Bar unit will send a PLU number to the Maitre' D workstation. This PLU number must be linked to a menu item. If the PLU is not linked to an item, the report will show the PLU number instead of the menu item description. Your Bar unit dealer should provide you a list of PLU number that will be sent by the bar unit for the different items poured.
Enter the PLU number.
Enter the name of the item corresponding to this PLU.
Enabled
When printing the bar report, any mismatch will be shown, using that price to show how much over or under the employee is.
With the Berg interface, this option allows to include a recipe for this cocktail. The recipe is defined in Server Control / View / Option / Bar / Cocktail Recipe.
Select the PLU that correspond to this item.
