Splitting an Item

The History Of Splitting an Item

Soon after someone invented splitting a check, someone asked to split an item between checks. Items such as a bottle of wine or an appetizer were split between the parties at a table, thus making a waiter's life even harder.

With the creation of the electronic cash register came split checks. However, it took the touch screen system to perfect the splitting of an item between seats.

The Need For Splitting an Item

Much like splitting of a check, the splitting of items is necessary to satisfy customer's demands. Your competition is doing this. Therefore, telling the customer that you don't split items just causes upset customers and lost business. Still, there are restaurants that don't split checks and don't split items for their customers.

The Solution For Splitting an Item

DirecTouch Point of Sale has a super quick and easy way to split items between seats.

By taking advantage of touch screen technology we are able to open the check, add another ticket, touch the items to move and touch the new ticket. You then select the item to be shared/split and then tell they system how many ways to split the item. The check is split, printed and ready to present to the customer. No hassle, no long wait time, no disgruntled wait staff and no unhappy customers.

If you have a 4-top and they only want to split the item 2 ways, that is no problem. DirecTouch pops up a 10-key pad for the server to select how many ways to split the item.
