TouchBistro payment processing
This chapter will deal with two settings areas of TouchBistro:
1. Bill & Chit
2. Payment Gateways
These settings configure how you take payments, customizing how your orders/bills look, how TouchBistro treats tipping, permissible discounts and void reasons, and more.
Chapter 1. Bill & Chits
These settings let you customize how your bills or guest checks look. As well, it lets you customize how your paper kitchen chits (or “tickets”) look.
Section 1. Order and Bill NumbersIf you want to keep order number, bills, and guest checks generated by TouchBistro in sync with your current records, enter the appropriate order/bill number and tap Current Order # and Current Bill #.
Order #: The order number is incremented by one and assigned to any kind of order created (at a table, at a POS, or via takeout/delivery/bar tab).
Current Bill #: A bill number is incremented by one and assigned to a printed receipt.
Example
Your very first party (a party of three) enters, sits at a table, and orders. TouchBistro assigns that order number Order 1. The table requests one guest check. That printed bill is assigned Bill #1.
Another party of three arrives and orders. TouchBistro assigns that order number Order 2. If this second party also requested one guest check, TouchBistro would assign that printed bill Bill #2. However, in this case this table requests separate checks. When you use TouchBistro’s Split by Seat option, TouchBistro creates 3 guest checks and numbers them Bill #2, Bill #3, and Bill #4.
Section 2. Edit Bill / Guest Checks
Tap Bills / Guest Checks to customize what appears on your bill/guest check, that is the bill your customer receives.
Tap Done if you’ve made any modifications.
1) Bill Options
Tap to include/remove certain items from appearing on your bill. A checkmark indicates the item will appear on your bill.
1.1. Add/Change Bill Logo
Add a logo that will print to a thermal printer. TouchBistro supports logos up to 750 pixels wide and 300 pixels high.
If the image’s width is greater than the image’s height (for example a landscape logo 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels high), TouchBistro will automatically scale to width, preserving the landscape orientation. If the image’s width is less than the image’s height (for example a portrait logo 200 pixels wide and 500 pixels high), TouchBistro will automatically scale to height, preserving the portrait orientation.
