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.

Before getting started
Before setting up your Moneris terminal for restaurant POS integration,
you must do the following:
§ Set up
your terminal’s hardware and software.
§ When using
an IP network, ensure that your terminal always uses the same IP address
in order to maintain a connection to your POS. You can accomplish this
in 2 ways. Choose one:
§ Configure
the network setup on your Moneris terminal to use static IP addressing.
At the Main
menu, tap Settings, Communication, and Communications
setup, then follow
these
instructions.
§ Continue
to use dynamic IP addressing, which is the default on your Moneris terminal,
but configure your router to always assign the same IP address to the
terminal. Contact your network team / IT department for assistance if
needed.
§ Ensure
you can process transactions
in standalone mode (not integrated) to verify your terminal is connected
to your own network and to the Moneris Host.
