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, an 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, later, the employee can
recall the check 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' to 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.
