Advanced Cash Register (Review)

Eigen gebruik

Eigen gebruik (own use in English) is used to register what is being consumed by (for example) bartenders and SVH during their shift, so all drinks and food that Hubble/Meteor "pays for".

To register an order or table on eigen gebruik, simply make sure the order/table is selected (visible on the order screen) and press to checkout. On the payment screen, you can select Eigen gebruik. You will get a conformation screen on which you can press yes and then the items will be put on eigen gebruik.

Please note:

Breuk

Breuk is used to register any items that can no longer be sold. This can be (for example) when a bottle is dropped and breaks, or when a wrong order has been made, and the beer has been sitting for too long. 

You can put thing on breuk by pressing the item in the order screen and then selecting breuk. Then press pin and the item will be registered as breuk.

Please note;

Van het huis

Van het huis is used to indicate that an item was given away. One of the more common uses for this within Hubble is to give people their birthday half a liter. You could also use it if someone order an eendje Guinness/witte Trappist/ etc to register the 11th item.

To register an item on van het huis, simply make sure the item is selected and press to checkout. On the payment screen, you can select Van het huis. You will get a conformation screen on which you can press yes and then the items will be put on van het huis.

Please note:

Tables

Tables are used to temporarily store items that, for example, a reservation has ordered. This table can then be paid of at the end of the reservation, or be put "op rekening".

To open a table, press show table and select the table you want to select.

image.png

To add items to a table, open the table, select the items, and then press register on table. This will be in the same spot the open table button was before. The items will now automatically be registered on the table.

If someone wants to pay of the table, you again open the table, and then press pin.

Please note:

Coins (Hubble only)

Hubble also distributes coins for special occassions. The common coins are blue. There are usually also orange coins in use, since those are bought and given out by Wervingsdagen. There are also other colours, such as pink.

A coin is worth the price of one beer.

When someone wants to pay with coins, press the little coin logo at the top of the order screen. Prices for all items will now be displayed in coins.

Check if the total is the same as the amount of coins handed in. If this is correct, press pin to finish up the transaction.

Please note:

Gift cards (Hubble only)

IMG_3348 (1).JPEG

Above you can see a giftcard. These are NFC passes, so they don't have a barcode. If someone wants to use a card to pay, go to checkout and press giftcard.  You can scan the giftcard on the top left of the screen to pay.

What to do with error orders (guest paid for something they don't want)

Sometimes there is a communication error between a guest and the person behind the register, causing a guest to pay for something they don't want. Usually this is a small amount and it can be fixed by offering the guest another item of a similair value (or slightly more). This can only be done by the SVH.

We are unable to transfer money back to guests.

Technical Back End (TODO METEOR)

To turn the light and sounds on, press all the red buttons on the bottom (blue part) from left to right. To turn everything off, press them from right to left.

Music

Lights

The big buttons at at the top define the different mood lighting options in Hubble. The labels describe what each setting does. Generally in the evenings, one of the party settings is active.

The Party Programs in the bottom right of the image can be selected for more expressive lighting with, among others, the moving heads. If the evening can use more funky lighting one of these can be activated by the SVH.

Screens

The two screens in Hubble are generally not touched, sometimes there are guests in the bar that would like to either watch something or play a game on them. Then with permission of the SVH they can connect to a screen using the HDMI cable that is hanging underneath.

If for any reason you do need to do anything with the screens, the remote for the screens can be found in the left door all the way on the right behind the bar.

The black remote labeled "TV" is for the screens.

Beamer

The beamer can be operated using the white remote labeled "Beamer" in the image above.

Using the beamer:

  1. Turn on the beamer using the red button on the top right of the remote
  2. Pull down the white screen until it matches the beamer's projection, then hold it still for ~3 seconds in order for it to stay in place
  3. The HDMI cable for the beamer can be found on the right side behind the podium on the ground

After using the beamer:

  1. Turn off the beamer using the red button on the top right of the remote
  2. Roll the white screen back up by pulling it down slightly and then releasing it

Sometimes the beamer will not work correctly, make sure it's set to the correct hdmi output using the remote.

Microphones 

If people want to use a microphone, this can be found on the inside of the door next to the panel (see picture above). They are labeled Mic 1 and Mic 2.

Using the Microphones:
