Details

Description

Enter a Description for the Guest Type. If you do not have different types of covers (e.g. Adult, Child, Senior, etc.) then simply enter Cover or Guest.

POS ID (OPTIONAL)

Enter a POS ID Number. This feature allows you to specify which POS ID Optimum should IGNORE when importing the sales from the POS.

POS Description (OPTIONAL)

Enter a POS Description. As with Products, add in the Description contained in the POS system for the above POS ID #, to make sure the link to the POS ID is correct for the Item.

Price

Indicate the Price normally charged for this Guest Type. You can edit this amount when entering the event so you may want to add a generic number (e.g. $9.99) and adjust it for each event.

 

 If you enter the Catering and Buffet events into the POS System AND into Optimum Control, you will want to make sure that the event sales do not get entered twice. If you have already processed the sale in Buffet or Catering, then you need to ignore it from the POS when it is imported.
