Overview
The flexibility of the Panasonic 5000 system allows transaction sequences to be tailored to
your operational guidelines. For example, your system can be set up to track customer
balances by guest check number or by table number. Or, if your operations are better
suited for it, your system can automatically assign the check numbers for you. Guest
Checks can be printed on a receipt tape (soft check) or on a hard-copy guest check that is
placed in an optional slip printer. There are also a variety of printers and kitchen videos
that can be added to your system. All of these factors influence the operation of your
system.
After you start a guest check, the steps you follow are also customized to fit your
operations. You may, for example, enter the number of guests or a reference table
number. You may also be asked to enter a Person # before you enter items. These entries
can be optional or required, depending upon your programming.
Where Section 2 described the keys individually, this section is designed to show you how
the keys work together. It covers some of the most frequently-used sequences. The
procedures are divided into the four steps involved in table service operations: Starting a
Guest Check, Recalling a Check, Printing a Guest Check, and Paying a Guest Check.
Unless otherwise noted, all of the sequences in this section are performed with the
keylock in REG Mode. Exceptions include any functions programmed to require a
manager. If manager authorization is a possible requirement, it is noted in the
explanation.
The explanations in this section assume you have already entered a cashier number and
server number. The log-on procedures are described in Section 2. Make sure that you
enter these numbers, if they are required for your system.
