Digestive Division Type

(Maitre'D 8.00.000.057 and later versions of Maitre'D)

Digestive was added as Type in the Divisions to separate these from desserts on checks.

Note: The Sorting By Meal Types option must be enabled in P.O.S. Control / Employee / Configuration / Invoice

The Division Type is also printed on the Detailed Evaluation Sheet.

Note: The Evaluation Sheet option must be set to Detailed in Revenue Center / Options / Configuration / Workstation and the % per Customer must be entered in Revenue Center / Options / Configuration / Modes

By default a table at the Digestive stage is displayed with the letter F on the Floor Plan, and with an Olive background on the screen saver.

Wait Time:

Enter the average estimated number of minutes needed for the digestive course of a meal (between ordering the digestive and printing the guest check). This number will be used to estimate the wait time for the next available table for the hostess’ waiting list.

Note: This number of minutes should be set to the same value as the Digestive Wait Delay on the Status branch.

Floor Management / View / Options / Status

Digestive

Wait Delay:

Enter the maximum amount of minutes granted for the digestive stage of a meal. (between the time the server enters a dessert and the time he enters a digestive) If the server has not brought this table to the check stage of the meal by the time this delay has expired, the table will start to blink on the screen. If the delay is set to 0, the table will not blink, but using blinking tables greatly improves the visibility of the floor status.

Note: This number of minutes should be set to the same value as the Digestive Wait Time on the General branch.

Status Color:

Using colors also improves the visibility of the floor status. The default color for the digestive is Olive.

Current Status Symbol:

Enter here a symbol that will show on the screen to know which stage the table is currently really on. The default symbol for the digestive is F.
