General
Information
Suspending a transaction allows the system to post totals, but temporarily
deactivates printing features. Nothing prints until you resume and finish the
transaction.
Items entered before the check was suspended are recognized as previous round
items. When the check is resumed, these items are treated as if the check had been
service totalled.
A suspended guest check cannot be added to another guest check, nor transferred
to another employee. You also cannot begin a new check if you have an outstanding
suspended transaction.
The system suspends transactions automatically when Auto Sign Out is enabled.
After the Auto Sign Out time elapses, the system suspends the current transaction,
if there is one.
There is no limit to the number of times a check can be suspended.
Example
Jorge is a bartender in a busy restaurant where there are more bartenders than
User Workstations. Jorge does not have to wait for another employee to complete a
transaction in order to begin another. Instead, when Jorge signs in, the current
transaction is suspended and Jorge can immediately begin a new one.
