Graphical User Interface (GUI) Touch Panel

The UP-X300 is equipped with a colour LCD touch panel. Operation can be performed by touching the screen that appears in the window of the display. The screen layout for registration and keys can be edited by your supplier, providing easy operation and flexible screen design.

Graphical Table Layout

The UP-X300 has a number of useful functions. You can design a restaurant table arrangement layout in the screen. The UP-X300 shows each table with an assigned number and displays information such as the number of seats, check number, guest counter. It is also possible to join tables, reserve tables, or prohibit the use of tables. The UPX300 can also display the stage of service for tables. For example, the service stage of no orders, starters, main meals, desserts, payment, or cleaning can be viewed by different table colours. You can easily identify free tables or the current service stage of each table. In the graphical table layout screen, the convenient Table Alert function can initiate the flashing of tables that have not been served within a defined time interval. The Automatic Table Search function finds tables for your guests or puts them on a waiting list until a table is available. As soon as a suitable table is free, a message is automatically displayed and guides you to open the table for the waiting guests. The graphical table layout also allows you to manage your service efficiently. You can define service sections and assign servers to each section.

  Bill Separation

This function allows you to separate a group of orders into individual bills, simply by dragging and dropping the items. It also allows you to automatically split bills by entering the number of persons or the payment amount.

Combo Meal Function

The Combo Meal function lets you combine two or more menu items into a single stroke entry. For the associated PLUs, 3 types of prices (ordinary price, mark-up price, and discount price) can be programmed. The mark-up price is used for largeportion requests, and the discount price is used for small portions such as a child’s meal.

Condiment Entries

The UP-X300 lets restaurants cater to the specific desires of guests. For example, entering a menu-item PLU brings up a message such as "How cooked?" and offers the key entry of RARE, MED.RARE, and WELLDONE. The UP-X300’s condiment table items can be entered for each menu item in one set or by multiplication entry. So it's no problem if your guest wants to decide on the set menu's dessert after eating the main meal. The Later Dessert function allows you to order a non-specific dessert for a table and enter the real dessert order later.

Promotion Functions

Various pre-programmed menu specials are provided to support your promotion activities. Each promotion can be activated for a time interval, on valid weekdays, during a valid month, and for a defined period.

1 Automatic Modifier is used in pubs and restaurants for quick and easy registration. Modifier items from a promotion table are automatically registered instead of the original item. You can also operate it manually via a modifier key.

2 Convenient Mix-and-Match functions are available for selling bundled articles under special conditions such as a special price, with a discount, or with an item free of charge.

3 Happy Hour Price allows you to register up to 20 different event prices.

Repeat Round Entries

When the [REPEAT ROUND] key is touched, the PLUs are reordered based on the last order. Those PLUs which have been programmed as “repeat round: yes” can be repeated by touching the [REPEAT ROUND] key once.

Mail Function

Messages can be sent from the server to each clerk’s machine. The received message can be displayed on the UP-X300 screen and is also printable.

Employee / Server Function

The UP-X300 allows you to define the authorisation level of employees/servers. For each staff member, individual functions can be blocked, password protected, or compel a reason code entry. By tracking the check in/out and break times of your employees and providing Manager Edit, the UP-X300 establishes a sound base for workforce management. In a multiple terminal environment, the Overlapped Clerk function and Remote Sign Off feature allow you to easily serve your customer at any terminal
