Moneris Core Restaurant

Moneris Core Restaurant is a function that allows you to easily integrate your Moneris terminal with your restaurant POS, creating efficiency for you and convenience for your customers. Multiple Moneris terminals can communicate with the restaurant POS at the same time.

With Moneris Core Restaurant, you can use your terminal or terminals to:

§ retrieve a server’s open tables and access receipt information from your restaurant POS with the ability to incorporate this information into various receipt formats, including e-receipts

§ select one of the open tables and process payment from each customer at the table, including identifying the customer’s tender type (debit, credit, gift card) at the card entry prompt

§ split the bill in multiple ways, including by seat/check, by amount, and by number of persons

§ remotely process cash payments to close out the cash portion of a bill on the restaurant POS (provided that the terminal is configured to integrate cash)

§ allow customers to enter a tip on the terminal, including tipping on the final dollar amount or on the pre-tax subtotal (when configured)

Note: Consult your restaurant POS provider for additional documentation.
