Front Of House
Day Finish Sales
The Day Finish Sales function has been significantly enhanced to centralize all processes associated with the end-of-day into one convenient screen. So it is no longer necessary to jump around between applications in order to process the end of day. Everything is provided on one screen.

In this example, the left column left shows all open transactions. From this screen, those transactions can be viewed and accessed. At the bottom is a button that will close all $0 transactions at once. The middle column shows all transactions that require charge tips to be applied. From this screen, those charges can be applied and the batch settlement executed. The column to the right displays all employees who are currently clocked in. Those with a green check mark require Cash Out. From this screen, those employees can be cashed out, clocked out as individuals or clocked out all at once.

Course Ordering
PixelPoint offers Course Line Bands. These are products designated as Kitchen Commands and assigned to a course. Using these line tags, you can arrange the items into their designated course and have them print appropriately in the kitchen. Using this method, you can now change the course of a product simply by selecting the course order tag prior to picking the product. For example, to order a salad as a dessert, select the Dessert Course line then pick [Salad]. The course assigned to the salad in Product Setup will be overridden with the revised course this one time

Hold and Fire

By Course Using the Course Line Bands (described earlier), Hold and Fire ordering can now be placed by course ordering. In the example shown here, course order bands were created. Each ordering product has also been assigned to its respective course.

With these elements in place, the user selects the [Fire Order] button, which is an Order function button created in Form Designer. A course firing window will then display. The number next to the course title identifies which course record it is (there are 10 courses in PixelPoint). The course titled Send Order Preview will send the entire order to its designated printer. This is intended for the Chef or Kitchen Manager for review. The Send Order Preview function requires the policy SendOrderPreview=Y Select the desired course and all course items up to and including that course will be sent to the kitchen. A Hold and Fire line will be applied after the last item of that course. To fire remaining courses, select the [Fire Order] button again. Select the desired course and [OK] to send that course. By Course With Seats Hold and Fire also works when ordering by Seating Positions. Do not apply the course tag lines but make sure all products are assigned to a course and the [Fire Order] button is applied. Regardless of which seat each applies to, the system will isolate all items matching the course selected on the course firing window.

Notice in this example that the Hold and Fire message has been applied after each Appetizer item.

Table Status
The table icons on the Table Layout screen now offer more information than just a table number and color status code. They will also show information such as current meal course, hold order, hold & fire status and table reservation status (refer to Policies to activate these).

Due to the large number of table status variations, a new entry has been added to the Table Info function called Legend. The legend contains table images and associated explanations of every item that can be applied. Shown below are the entries for the new table legend.

The [Table Info] displays have also been enhanced to include pertinent information on the tables such as check total (see example) or duration of time.

Auto-Combo Recognition
When certain items or combinations of items exist on an order, PixelPoint can now recognize these as candidates for applying a meal combo and can prompt the user to up-sell them as a combo.

For example, the order taker selects [Hamburger] and [French Fries]. Two buttons appear offering to replace those items with either a [Hamburger Combo] or a [Cheeseburger Combo]. Each suggested item includes the adjusting price to up-sell to the combo. Within the Product Setup for the two combos, the ordering products of Hamburger and French Fries were both flagged as required items meaning that in order for PixelPoint to autoapply the combo, both of those individual items must exist on the check. In the case of this example, if one of the combos was selected, the forced question for Soda Flavor would be presented and the three items (hamburger, fries and soda selection) applied under the combo item. It should be noted that the auto-combo buttons dont just appear. They exist in a new Combo Grid that has been added to Form Designer. Combo It Another option for Combos is to apply a new function button in Form Designer called Combo It. It is a Special function type button that will manually generate the Combo Grid in a roll panel. In the example below, when the ordered items fulfill the criteria for initiating an auto-combo, the [Combo It] button becomes available. If you wish

to save on screen area, you can apply the Combo Grid into a rollout panel. If there are more combo items than can be displayed on the grid, you can also apply new function buttons called [Combo DN] and [Combo UP] also found in the Special function types. These will scroll the combo grid up and down. Both the grid and [Cancel] button are set to auto roll-up the panel when selected.

Back Of House
Backup
The backup utility for PixelPoint has been replaced with a significantly enhanced version called Backup Manager. This utility has been integrated with the POS to automatically prompt the user to do a backup, allow backups to be done on demand, schedule multiple backup intervals and save them to multiple destinations both within the local area network and remotely through IP addressing. Backup Manager allows you to define the methodology for retaining backups. You may keep all past backups, define how many you wish to keep or you can invoke one of three Tower of Hanoi backup rotation schedules (3 point, 5 point and 9 point).

Shown in this image are multiple backups scheduled to take place at different times. The first is scheduled at a certain time each day. The second is scheduled on specific days of the week. The third is scheduled for a specific date of each month. The last applies the Hanoi Tower 3 restore point method of retention. Other variations are available. When accessing PixelPoint BackOffice, the system will now check and ask whether a backup is desired at this point. If the answer is Yes, then the backup program will then start up automatically. Backup is also available on demand through BackOffice as a selection in the General drop down menu called [Backup Now!]. Backup now offers data compression reducing backup size by about 75%.

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 10

Combos
In prior versions of PixelPoint, meal combos were set up through Forced Questions. While this method still works, Version 10 offers a new tab located in Product Setup called Combo Items. The combo product is still created in Product Setup but rather than apply a combo forced question, select the Combo Items tab and apply the items that go into that combo. These combo items can be products, options and forced questions. For example (see image), a Burger combo consists of a hamburger, french fries and a choice of beverage. Rather than put in each possible choice of beverage, simply apply the forced question of beverage choice.

Each line contains a field called Required Item. If all required items exist on a check, the system will initiate an auto-combo recognition function that prompts the user with the button option of making them into a combo. To apply auto-combo recognition to the order screen, a new grid has been added to Form Designer called ComboMenuGrid. This grid will be presented whenever the system recognizes all Required Items in a products Combo Items setup as having been ordered on the check as separate items.

As mentioned in the Front-End section, you can also apply Combo Grid to a rollout panel. There also exist new Special function buttons for auto-combo recognition. These are Combo It, Combo DN/UP and Combo Scroll.

Course Ordering
Courses can now be tagged directly on the order (in the Item List) using course bands. These bands can be used in conjunction with Hold & Fire functionality to send groups of items (by meal course) when desired. Color of these bands can also be set within Component Inspector for Item List.

Form designer also has a new [Set Course] function button that will present a window prompting the user to select the desired course. Located within Policy Setup is a command for showing the current course on the table icons. A new button has been added to the Course Prefixes section of the Orders tab (see above image). Based on the selected course title on the left (Course field), it will allow you to change the name of the course. Further information about courses can be found in the Form Designer, Item List, and Policies sections of this document.

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 10

Employee Contests
Located in the Employees pull down menu in BackOffice is a new entry called Contests. Similar to client retention programs, you can now set up contests among the staff pertaining to the sale of products. Multiple contests can be running at the same time with durations that are recurring daily, recurring weekly, recurring monthly or within a date range.

Located on the Advanced tab in Product Setup is a new field called Employee Points. This value is applied every time that item is ordered by contest participants. The scope of the contest can range from specific items to all items within a report category. When assigning a report category, you can also assign a points value there in which all related products will inherit that point value.

It is also possible to filter contest participants by job position. For example, one contest may apply only to bartenders only while a different contest applies only to wait staff and a third contest may apply to both. Contest standings can be viewed in Real Time within [Your Settings] and through related contest reports.

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 10

Form Designer
Stations can now have custom keyboard screens created in Form Designer. These are located in the Other selection in Form Manager. The purpose of having customizable keyboard screens is that you can now apply custom function buttons, symbols and layouts to keyboard screens. An example of this may be a quick key buttons representing commonly used words, such as city names, street designations or directions. Such buttons can be added either directly to the screen or applied in roll panels.

The button arrangement can also be tailored to accommodate QWERTY (English), AVERTY (French) and any other linguistic variations required by the customer. Keyboard templates are assigned in Station Setup. Various templates are available in the Templates sub-folder with an OTH file extension. Other new features added: Combo Grid (see Combos) used when auto combo recognition takes place [Hold Order], [Fire Order] and [Set Course] function buttons (see Hold and Fire) Security level field that is applicable to any function button Sales type button now also has a setting Popup List Style that will present a popup list of sale types Screen label called Order Time that will display the running elapsed time since first item ordered on the check.

Inventory
Location & Levels This is a new entry within Stock Item Setup under the Advanced Tab. In environments containing multiple warehouses, stock items can now be set to have Par and Reorder Levels unique to each warehouse. The warehouses can also be identified in the Ship To information on purchase orders so (for example), an order of Vodka can be ordered and delivered to a specific warehouse.

Stock Takes A front-end user interface called PixelInventoryCounts.exe has been created allowing physical counts to be done directly at the station and specific to a given warehouse. For example, at the end of the day, a bar manager can perform a physical count on one specific bar (warehouse).

The utility can be tied into the Manager Menu using POS Functions Setup in BackOffice. When executed, the system will prompt to pause the depletion of inventory prior to doing the physical count. Security can be set to allow or prevent the user from seeing the current stock levels and variance data. Other Related Features: Bar code support scanning of items will bring you to the Enter Counts screen for that item. Inversely, the Enter Counts screen supports scanning items. Support for the weight of items intended for liquor bottles. Will remember set filters for the next time you perform a physical count.

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 10

Purchase Orders When selecting items from a supplier for ordering, it is now possible to select all or a partial list of items available from that supplier or select all items below their reorder level. Notice that the item of Vodka also offers information in a new field called suggested order quantity [Sug Ord Qty]. This is applied through a policy in which it calculates the stock items current level, reorder level and par level to offer a recommended ordering quantity.

Other related inventory features include: Automated purchase orders by warehouse. A new field called Suggested Order Quantity which will calculate current levels, quantities on order and reorder/par levels to come up with a suggested quantity for ordering. A security field called Inv Manager: Show System Variance.which will hide the Variance field and system data within Physical Counts in Inventory Manager and within Pixel Inventory Counts.

Item List
The item list is the part of the order screen that contains the items that have been ordered. The display has been enhanced in several areas to aid with course ordering see images of Item Lists on next page. Course Bands A course band is an item that differentiates one course from another, much like the way seat bands work on orders placed by seating position. Course bands are created in Product Setup. They are Kitchen Commands that are assigned to a corresponding course. The combination of these two settings turns the product into a course band which carries with it the ability to change the course assignment of an ordered item and the ability to Hold & Fire items by course.

For example, if the Item List is highlighted under Appetizer Course and you order a main course item like a Steak, the course assigned to that product will be overridden making it an appetizer in that check. If a course tag is highlighted and [Hold & Fire] is applied, the Fire window will display each course allowing you to identify when you want to send all items in that course to the kitchen. Color coding of course bands can also be adjusted within Form Designer. Selecting PixelItemList, the Component Inspector will offer the field Item Colors. Expanding on this presents all of the color settings for anything applied to the Item List see image PixelItemList. Version 10 offers new settings called KitchnBandBcgd (kitchen band background) and KtchnBandText (kitchen band text). These refer to the kitchen command products that serve as course bands. Course Prefixes The course prefix is defined in System Setup in the Orders Tab. You can now apply these to the table icons on the Table Layout Screen (refer to the Table Status section in this document). However, they can also be applied to the items that display in the Item List. A new field has been added to the Item List in Form Designer called ShowCourse. If you set it to Text, the line items in the Item List will include the course prefix. If set to UseTableDrawing, it will apply whatever has been defined for course display to the table icons on the Table Layout Screen see images on next page.

To utilize the UseTableDrawing enhancement, set the policy TableCourseIndicator to the desired setting (see the Policies and Table Status sections in this document for further information).

Based on what is set for this policy combined with the ShowCourse setting in Form Designer, the course bands and ordered items will appear differently in the Item List. The images below demonstrate how these settings affect the appearance of course items. Note the course bands as well. As mentioned earlier, the course bands can be set to any color in Form Designer under the Item Colors setting in the Component Inspector.

Member Ship To
The fields for City, Province/State and Country now contain a browse button. This will display a list of previous entries that have been added. This will drastically reduce the chances of misspelled names making reports and data sorting and filtering more accurate.

A policy called ShowMemberShipTo will activate a new tab in member setup called Ship To. This tab allows a member to have multiple Ship To locations (such as work, home, friends home, etc.).

Ship To will also appear at the front-end as a panel on the Member screen. Selecting it will present a screen offering the user to select the desired ship to address. Each will present the contact and address information for that respective Ship To address. The screen also offers a [New] button allowing you to create new Ship To address records right from here. If no Ship To address is selected, the system will assign the Bill To address which is the address used in the Member record.

Member Browser
A new utility has been integrated into BackOffice called Member Browser. Its purpose is to provide data export functionality for Member information. This can be used for things such as mailing campaigns and exporting into third-party software.

A new field has been added to the Member record called Do Not Solicit. This will filter the member from showing up on member lists for mail outs and such. Upon selecting the desired member records, you can choose either [File] or [Excel] to export the member data to a file or spreadsheet. The drop down list is for thirdparty data export. Important Note: Member Browser is only available with Professional Licenses.

Print Emulator
Located in Setup Printer Codes is a new model of printer called PixelEmulator. Its purpose is to aid the POS programmer, by routing all order chits, credit slips, receipt printing, end-of-day reports and drawer open commands to the screen. This is of enormous help to both database programmers needing to see printing without hooking up a printer and to sales people demonstrating PixelPoint. To set this up, create a network printer record choosing PixelEmulator as the printer model. Apply this to the desired station that you want it to appear on and in the case of a standalone configuration, set it to an unused local port.

Then go into Station Setup and apply it to that stations printer channels. Having changed the stations physical configuration, you will have to restart the front end for it to take effect. When the emulator window displays, you can optionally send it to a physical network printer by pressing [Print]. You can also view a list of all print jobs that were sent to the emulator by selecting [History]. Choose the desired history list entry to view that particular print. Located in the upper left corner of the box is an icon that will allow you to configure how long the emulation will display on the screen before automatically closing. By default, it will remain on the screen until you select [Close]. You can also set it to not show the emulated print in which case, the print will simply save to the history for viewing later. Located in the upper right corner is an icon to maximize or minimize the emulated display.

PIXELPOINT CONFIDENTIAL

PAGE 19 OF 28

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 10

Sale Type
A new field called [Enforce Member] has been added to Sales Type Setup. Checking its box will enforce the requirement for a member to be assigned to the transaction. This works in conjunction with the PromptEnforceMember policy.

The Table Settings database table has a new field which allows you to assign a default sale type to specific tables. This can be applied either by going into Table Settings and applying the sale type to each table record, or by going into Table Layout Setup and applying it in the Tag menu. Assigning Sale Type to a table will override the default sale type applied in Station Setup.

Security
Access into various applications within PixelPoint is now restricted based on security level. Password access is now required for access into CreditCheck setup and FixPixelBase. Security is also a new field added within Form Designer for assigning authorization to the use of any function button. A new field Inv Manager: Show Sys Variance will hide inventory variance and system units data in both Inventory Manager and the new Inventory Counts utility. Also, the Database Editor utility within FixPixeBase now has its own secondary security access.

Additional Enhancements
Alert Agent
PixelPoint Alert Agent is a utility that monitors operational totals and notifies pertinent staff when pre-defined conditions have been met. The alerts can be in the form of emails, broadcast messages and SMS text messages. Unlike reporting systems which only offer information when asked, Alert Agent is pro-active, bringing the information to you. The configurable alerts are as follows: Cash Drawer Coupon Totals Tills Over Delivery Alert when a cash drawers contents exceed a certain amount. Alert when the amount of a coupon or void applied exceeds a certain amount. Alert when a till has drawn in more than a certain amount. Alert when the number of waiting deliveries exceeds a certain number or if the duration of a delivery has exceeded a certain time limit. Alert when the system generates an exception error. Alert when the number of future orders exceeds a certain number. Alert when an inventory items stock count drops below a certain number. Alert when the percent of labor cost exceeds a certain number. Alert when the number of zero total transactions exceeds a certain number. Alert when an employee is on overtime hours based on number of hours per day or number of hours worked per week. Alert when a pay-in, payout or over/short value exceeds a certain amount. Alert when an ordering product is Sold Out or its count has dropped below a certain limit. Alert when gross or net sales exceed or drop below a certain amount. Alert when an employee is late or misses a shift or when they are approaching overtime. Alert when an employees break time falls outside of the allowable minimum and maximum set in Shift Rules. Alert when the amount of charge tips or the amount of declared cash tips exceeds a certain amount. Alert when the total owing on a transaction has exceeded a certain amount.

The agent is placed in the startup folder and runs in the background like other PixelPoint agents. Once running, maximizing the icon will present a window displaying scheduled alerts. There are also tabs for displaying alert history, a list of all alert modules (as described on the previous page), a log of alert executions, a log of alerts sent out and a configuration tab for setting up things like email and SMS alerts. Service charges for using SMS text message will be incurred. It is important that the customer be aware of this.

When creating an alert, an Alert Editor window will display which offers General, Schedule, Delivery and Condition tabs. The General tab is for applying notes and selecting the desired alert icon. The Schedule tab configures the frequency and range of scope for the alert. The Delivery tab (shown) configures the method and scope of alert delivery. The Condition tab focuses on alert parameters and alert conditions such as which warehouse or if the value is over a certain amount. Alert manager can be configured for multiple modules to be alerted about, multiple schedules and conditions of the same alert module, and multiple methods of delivery. Note: Alert Agent is only available with Professional License.

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 10

Biometrics
A new section has been added to Job Position Setup on the Advanced Tab that will enforce a biometric scan for all employees in the job position in order to clock in, clock out and take breaks.

This enables the customer to apply both biometric and swipe card access to their operation. Normal swipe could still be applied for general access, but punch clock-related functions could be restricted to fingerprint recognition scans. Biometric Management Authorization A new policy called BiometricOnSecurityOverride will enforce biometric authentication on security overrides. This will improve management authorization security by removing the possibility of employees using a managers swipe card or learning their manual entry number.

Clear All Sales

This utility has been enhanced to offer more filters for clearing specific data. These include Employee Contest data and Member statistical information, such as member points, amounts due and order history.

These filters make it easier for installers to re-use existing databases and retain information such as products, menus, staff and members without retaining their respective activity information.

The image below is an example of a custom order chit. The field Section_Member is a section marker designed to accommodate all Member_* fields. If the transaction does not have a member applied to it, the section will be automatically suppressed.

Member suppression also applies to custom receipts as well. Along with this, you can split custom order chit and custom receipt into two separate sections with the fields separated within each. Custom order chits are stored in the database and accessed in a new tab in Network Printer Setup called Custom Chit (see sample layout on next page). The new Seat Line format (format_seatline) applies special formatting to items that are designated by seat type (used in custom receipts).

The above example is SamplePixelReceiptLayout.txt. The Seat Line format in this example is in wide format.

Exception Errors
The Screaming Mouse window has been enhanced for situations where the system is stuck in an error loop.

After several unsuccessful attempts to move on from the error, the window will offer two buttons: The first is to perform a Windows reboot on that station. The second is to perform a POS restart from that station. A policy has also been added that will prevent the Screaming Mouse image from showing up on this window.

FixPixelBase
The system upgrade utility in FixPixelBase has been enhanced to first check the POS to see what needs to be upgraded, then present the upgrade window.

The Critical tab shows the files that will be upgraded. The Optional tab contains files that you can optionally select for the upgrade allowing you to check on the ones to download. The Skipped tab shows all files that are contained in the upgrade that will be skipped in this download. The Release Notes tab offers documents explaining the new features and functions associated with the download files. These documents can be viewed prior to downloading any files. Security Another enhancement to FixPixelBase is enhanced security to access the FixPixelBase utility and also a separate security access to the database editor.

Policies
AutoComboRecognition
This policy determines how the POS will process automatic combo recognition. (0) disable auto-combo recognition, (1) requires user selection of the recognized combo, (2) auto-order once a combo is recognized. If enabled, biometric authentication is required for security overrides. This will allow the Inventory Manager to auto-calculate the suggested purchase order quantity of an inventory item within the Select Inventory screen. The calculation is based on par, re-order, current stock and onorder levels. This is an option to print future order credit authorization slips when payment is applied rather than when the order is processed. This is an option to print future order receipts when payment is applied rather than when the order is processed. When applying Hold & Fire ordering, this policy dictates how it is going to display on the Table Layout screen. (0) disabled, (1) on, (2) shape flashes, (3) alternating color. When a Hold & Fire has been applied, the system will wait the number of minutes indicated in this policy before the table icon begins to flash, suggesting that the server check if the order is ready to fire the next items. The default is 15 minutes. This defines the number of minutes after a Hold Order command that will trigger the Hold and Fire indicator to flash, provided the flash option has been activated. This will prompt for a member, if the sale type setup has been configured to Enforce Member. This policy controls how the POS sends real time orders to PixelKDS (kitchen display system). It will determine whether to send new/modified items or the entire order. This enables or disables the Send Order Preview function when using [fire Order]. Send Preview Order sends all non-printed items with a course assigned to them to their printer channel. This enables or disables the screaming mouse on error displays. This will display or hide the member Ship To tab.

StrictNoSale

Checks totaling $0 (regardless of whether there are items on the check or not), will require security authorization in order to close. This will dictate how the course will display on the Table Layout screen. (1) course prefix, (2) course number, (3) graphical prefix, (4) graphical number. See the Item List and Table Status sections for further explanation. If TableReservationIndicator has been activated, this will determine how many minutes in advance of the reservation time that the system will display the indicator. This will activate an indicator on the Table Layout screen that a reservation has been applied to a given table. It will display as a clock icon which is color coded to indicate approaching, due and past due reservation status.
