Create a check to store order details for delayed sales, such as in a food service environment. 

Before you begin

• Enable checks on the required workstations.
• Ensure a payment group has been set up for checks
• Ensure a payment type has been set up for checks
• Ensure a payment button has been set up for checks

Steps:

1. On the Checks page of the POS Main Selling Screen, press Create New Check.
   There is also a Create Check button in the POS button menu. Depending on the Position assigned to the button, you may need to press More to access it.
2. Enter a Check ID.
   Additional Split Checks will be grouped together as a Check order with the specified Check ID.
   For example: The table number, or the seat number in a cinema auditorium.
   If the Workstation is configured to Enforce the use of pre-defined Check IDs, the Check ID entered must match an existing Check Definition.
3. Enter the customer Name.
4. (Optional) Enter the Location, and the Number of Guests.
5. Press Create Tab.

POS returns to the main selling screen. The Order Window is shaded the colour determined by the system setting OrderWindowBackColourTab (blue by default) to indicate that a check is active, and the Checks page at the top of the screen flashes the Tab ID of the active check.

The server can now add items to the check.
