Frequent Diner Points Mode

(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 2 and later versions of Maitre'D)

You can modify the way Frequent Diner Points are shown and redeemed. This redemption method can use free Points Items once the sufficient amount of points has been accumulated, in addition to using a discount.

On the workstation, the free Point Items remains unavailable until a Frequent Diner card with enough points is swiped.

When selecting the Frequent Diner, the Points Balance is displayed on the list, instead of the Dollar value balance.

Even after swiping a card with less then the required amount of points, the free Points Item remains unavailable until enough transactions are performed to bring up the point balance.

The points are only added after the check is printed and settled.

The Frequent Diner coupon print Points Earned followed by Points Balance.

On the next transaction when the Frequent Diner card with enough points is swiped on the table, the Points Item becomes available.

When you select a free item with the Point function, the point balance is updated automatically, to only allow for the proper amount of free items.

Note: You can not combine items with the Point function and other types of items on the same check. You must print and settle the 0.00 check before ordering any other item the guest requests.

The Frequent Diner coupon print Points Used followed by Points Balance.
