Report Center / Report / Custom Reports
To give management powerful reporting on the workstation, you can customize
40 columns reports from the Report Center to be generated and printed
on a workstation printer. Reports pertaining to the P.O.S. Control, Time
and Attendance and Inventory Management modules can thus be made available
at the front of the house.
These reports can be accessed through the Detailed Report button within
the Function screen.
For example, some 40 columns custom reports for the Point Of Sale could
be:
Values and quantities of the coupons applied.
40 column version of the Back-Office's Summary of
Servers (Detailed) report.
40 column version of the Back-Office's Inventory
Report, including a section with food cost percentage on sales.
The following Crystal 10 reports are available on the Maitre'D
web site.
Note: Crystal 10 is not compatible with Windows 98 or NT on the
Main Server.

and exit from the Report Center module.
