On the kitchen coupon, both the salads are combined on the same line, but the dressing modifiers are separated on different lines, letting the chef know that the French dressing goes with the special menu salad, and the Italian dressing goes with the regular salad. This is printed thus in case the special menu salad is presented differently and/or in a different size.
Likewise, both the chicken breasts are combined on the same line, but an additional modifier line is printed to let the chef know that one of these is part of the special menu, so that he knows which salad to put with which main course, in case the special menu chicken is presented differently and/or in a different size.
On the guest's check, the special menu is printed first, followed by its components, which show as free. Below the special menus, the regular sales items ordered separately from the special menus are then printed at their regular prices.
If the employee touches the Print button after ordering the free components, but forgot to order the actual special menu that contains the price, the employee has to select one of the possible special menus, according to the free items already ordered.
If the chosen special menu actually includes yet another free component, the employee is prompted to order it.
Once the priced special menu and the included dessert have been selected, the check can be printed.
Also, if the Open Tables option is enabled in P.O.S. Control / Employees / Employee / Report, the employee can print a financial report even though there are open tables or checks by touching the Reading button.
On the Financial Report screen the Gross Sales line displays All Sales, including all closed sales added with all ordered items on open tables or checks.
On the Financial Report, the All Sales line prints the Gross Sales. Also, a warning is printed towards the end of the report above the list of all open tables or checks.

You can stop the compilation of the modifiers of a division on the kitchen coupon. When ordering the same item with multiple different modifiers, such as the pizzas in the example below, the chef does not know which modifiers to combine on an individual sales item. If you disable the kitchen compilation for a division, such as the highlighted ribs in the example below, each sales item's modifier are listed separately. This can be useful for the cook when ordering similar items for multiple guests on the same customer screen.
Enable this option to print the modifiers of sales items from that division separately in the kitchen, starting with a star.
When the Special Menu Printout options are enabled in both P.O.S. Control / View / Options / Check & Printing, many existing functions behave slightly differently:
The Logical Printer name is printed on the header of requisition coupons.
The Check buttons on the closing screen display the invoices totals.
The Modify Payment screen of Manager Function displays the media types available to the original employee.
Table Transfer from another employee switches to the new employee's revenue center.
The Item Discount buttons on the Order screen are applicable on previously ordered items.
The Upsize function allows upsizing items that have already been ordered.
If the No Customer Count option is also enabled in P.O.S. Control / Employees / Configuration / Order, you can skip guests of regular tables from the customer count in reports by allowing to enter Zero (0) when the # of Customers option is set to Beginning in P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Options / Options. This is useful to avoid double count of a client who orders a coffee and a dessert after paying the main meal, for example, or a customer ordering in the lounge bar while waiting for a table to become available.
If the Assignment Override option is enabled in P.O.S. Control / Employees / Configuration / Functions / CMD, when these employees touch the Table button without entering a table number. The floor plan is displayed with the color and blinking scheme setup in Floor Management / View / Options / Status. From this screen, they can simply touch the table they want to open.
