Bar Tab functionality configuration

Introduction 

In this feature, we’ve added a new flag called “Enable Bar Tab” in the Terminal Setup under global and site settings. Once this flag is enabled, the Bar Tab functionality becomes available for IPA. 

This allows customers to open a tab, add multiple orders without immediate payment, and settle the total bill when they close the tab.e, extra pepperoni for a pizza modification which means an extra portion of pepperoni is required.

Bar Tab features include:

• Open Tab: Customers provide a payment method (like a credit card) to keep the tab open.

• Add Orders: Drinks or food can be added to the tab throughout the visit.

• Close Tab: Customers pay the total bill when ready, with an option to add a tip.

• Pre-Authorization: Some systems reserve a specific amount to ensure payment.

Note: The Bar Tab Functionality feature will only be functional to the subscribed stores. If a store does not subscribe to this feature then users will not be able to use this feature for that particular store.
