The central change is the creation of a head navigation with „Customer / Tables / Sales“. This creates space in the sales screen for a large number of quick-selection items - the most frequent request for improvement from many customers. The head navigation also leads to more space in the customer mask, e.g. for a directly displayed picture of a person, as well as a clear table plan. Additional buttons in the head navigation for the timetable (directly in the cash register view) and in the next version also for the online table book display of PCCO make the new interface even more clearly a specialised „golf gastro cash register“.
Please switch to the cash register account area, e.g. GASTRO.
Now call up the cash register via the button Call up cash register button in the PC CADDIE toolbar or via Umsätze/Kasse:
A query window opens asking which layout should be started; click on New Layout to start the new layout:
The opened cash register window looks like this:
Here you can edit the previously selected edit person or the turnover or clearingaccount open. Credit deposit or CardTop up credit. Also change the change the table or the item bookings Split.

Another option is the list function button to the right. If you have a magnetic card reader, you can swipe the magnetic strip of a DGV ID card and the customer will be dialled immediately. The same applies if you have a Mifare reader.
If the person does not yet exist in PC CADDIE, he or she is dialled with Create new person to create a new person. If you do not want to create the person separately, e.g. for the sale of a muesli or chocolate bar, go via the button Direct sale. Alternatively, you can also go via the table plan and book directly onto a table.
Once you have selected your guest, the table query opens. Here you can either click directly on the table on the table plan or click on the button at the top left. Enter number enter the number as usual.
Once the table is selected, PC CADDIE switches to the sales level.

When the item is selected, the following window opens.

After entering the customer and the invoice number, which must be found in advance from the account entries, the following window opens:
(You can also enter only the customer, in which case another window appears beforehand where you can select the desired document).
With Reactivate Invoice for Reversal you bring the entire booking back to the cash register again. You can now cancel the item bookings. This is particularly useful for event invoices, as you do not have to remember all the items. If there are only a few items, you can see another way to cancel below.
Working with minus number
Another cancellation option is to work with a minus sign, i.e. a negative number. Select the customer again in the cash register, book the item to be corrected and enter the corresponding correction number with a minus sign in the field for the number, for example „-1“:

This reason is displayed on your receipt printout. You will then see the new item price in the checkout.
If the item is already booked or if the guest gets a total discount of 10% on everything, select the button Discount during payment.
If the discounts are entered accordingly, the amount to be paid is calculated automatically. With OK you complete the booking.
In the catering industry it is often the case that all orders are first booked to one person or one table and then later split when paying. For this purpose, the catering cash register has the button Split (F6). You have this button both in the customer level,
as well as at the sales level.
If the number of items is two or more, a query window opens in which PC CADDIE asks you which number you would like to transfer or divide.
