When a restaurant chooses a cash register, it is necessary to know the functional characteristics of various brands and models and whether these functions can meet the management requirements of the restaurant. The following are the functions that the cash register in the catering industry should have:

1. The function of managing the table account: it is an essential function of the cash register used in restaurants. With this function, the cash register can manage every table in the front hall at will, including adding, deleting and changing.

2. Full Chinese character function: equipped with a cash register with a secondary font (7,111 Chinese characters), it can print out all the names of dishes.

3. Automatic classification and discount function: restaurant cash registers add service fees or reduce prices, and the discount function is different. Usually, restaurants don't discount drinks and seafood, and it is impossible for the cashier to discount every dish every time the guest adds or subtracts the menu, but to give a one-time discount when checking out. Therefore, it is required that the cash register can automatically delete the discount on unfavorable varieties such as drinks when it is finally discounted. The automatic classification discount function is designed for this purpose.

4. waiter's function: it should be able to count the sales of each waiter, even including what dishes each waiter has served. This function is designed for restaurants to manage commissions, salaries and bonuses.

5. Transfer function: This function automatically transfers money when customers change dining tables or multiple dining tables are summarized by one table, so as to avoid confusion and overlapping of accounts.

6. Kitchen printer: The cash register should be connected to the kitchen printer, and the chef can print out the menu directly in the kitchen or the meat roasting department, instead of manual delivery, so as to streamline the waiters and improve the serving speed. The menu printed by the kitchen printer can be compared with the cash register report at the front desk, so as to check the materials used by various departments.

7. Bill printer: As a grade symbol or advertising requirement of restaurants, high-end restaurants generally use their own dedicated triple or five-page bills. The cash register is connected to the bill printer, which can print the final billing information on the bill and provide it to customers.

8. Description function: You can tell all departments the special requirements of customers through the kitchen printer. For example: no sugar, less pepper, etc.

With the above introduction, you can choose the most suitable brand and model of restaurant cash register according to the management needs and characteristics of your own enterprise.
