Creating Till Tape Lists

One of the features of Optimum Control is that you have the ability to customize a Till Tape List to exactly match those of your Cash Register Tapes.

 

To Create a Till Tape List

 

 

  1. From the Upper Menu, click Setup | Till Tape Lists

  2. Enter a description for the list under Sort Descrip
     You can create multiple till tape lists, as you may have more that one cash register with different till tape orders.  If you are using more that one cash register, we recommend that you contact your cash register supplier and have your tills linked, so that all of the sales information can be retrieved from one machine. This will save you a lot of time.

    Another reason to have multiple till tape lists is if you use daily menus. In this case, set up a Monday list, a Tuesday list, a Wednesday list etc. Each list must contain all of the menu products that you sell on that day, as you can only save each list once a day. 

  3. Select how you want to Create List by:

    Description - Choose this sort method and each menu item will be listed by their description.
    PLU – Choose this sort method if your till tape reports are listed by PLU number.

  4. To quickly populate a list with all the Products setup in Optimum Control, click Add All. However you have selected to Create List by, will be how the list is populated.
    You can customize the list to match that of your cash register by left clicking on a product and dragging it to the same location as it is setup on the till tape.

  5. If you want to create a list to match your till tape by adding one product one at a time, click the ADD button. Continue selecting products until this list exactly matches your cash register till tape.

  6. If you wish to insert a product somewhere in the list, click on the menu product that appears below the new one and click INSERT.

  7. Click Save and Close.

 If you have forgotten to enter a product or have added a new one to your menu, you can always edit the Till Tape. Select the till tape that you want to add the product and Add or Insert the Product.
