Purchase in restaurant mode

When you enable Core Restaurant on your terminal, the default transaction is Purchase. A Purchase allows the customers at a table to pay their bill.

Splitting the bill

Here is a summary of the different ways in which you can handle the bill for a table:

§ Process full amount in one payment

§ Split by amount

§ Split by dollar amount (for example, there are 3 customers. The first 2 customers pay a specific dollar amount, and the third customer pays the remaining amount of the bill)

§ Split by number of people (for example, there are 4 customers and they spilt the bill equally, with each one paying 25% of the bill)

§ Split by seat/check (each customer pays for their own order)
