HOLD/PRINT HOLD
This feature is used in a table service restaurant. It prevents kitchen printer /KVS instructions from being sent
immediately after items are registered and stored.
For example, a employee registers a customer order consisting of appetizers and main course entrees. Without this
feature, both the appetizer and main course items are sent to the kitchen at the same time. With this feature, the
employee can "hold" main course items, which prevents them from being sent to the kitchen printer (even thought
they are programmed to be sent to a printer). Then, at a later time, the employee can recall the check where the
items were registered and print the main course items so they can be prepared and served when the customer is
ready to eat them.
A held item is indicated on the display with an 'H' at the left of the item.
See "Tracking File Options" in the Program Manual to set the following related options:
Automatically select held items when a check is recalled, Yes or No. (This flag is to facilitate printing of held items.)
Display warning to operator that check(s) have held items when employee finalizes any check, Yes or No.
