Business days
A Business day is a fixed working period of a restaurant against which all figures are calculated.
The business day is the minimal period for which we can extract data to produce a number of reports. By configuring the appropriate settings for a division in the directory we can automatically generate sales records based on operations carried out during a business day in that division.
At least one , must be created to open and close business days. In a company with multiple divisions, business days will be created for each division separately and may have different duration, opening and closing dates and time. For example, the restaurant works from 12:00 till 02:00, while the cafe works from 09:00 till 21:00.
Business days are used to facilitate report generation in the and subsystems, and enterprise monitoring.
Within business days the following operations are carried out:
-
bills and receipts generation, deposit and fiscal registration of receipts;
-
cost price calculation and recalculation;
-
operations recording;
-
sales record creation;
-
financial accounting.
To sell menu items on the terminal, a business day must be opened in a division. Only one business day can be opened in a division simultaneously.
Note
Fiscal registration sets a maximum duration of a business day at 24 hours. Z-reports are printed on every till, when the business day is closed.
A business day can be opened in mode on any terminal in a division and closed in any division by any operator with the required security privileges. Business days can also be opened and closed in Tillypad XL Manager in the list.
A status is assigned to the business day depending on what stage the day is on.
