The Fifa Soccer World Cup will soon be with us, bringing welcome groups of foreign visitors.
Are you ready to receive these visitors in your restaurant? How will you entice these visitors to come back to your establishment?
Three new feautires in the current PowerTill software will allow you to compete favourably for the patronage of visiting soccer fans.
1. Bill subtotal with multiple currencies
It's illegal to accept foreign currency as tender for a restaurant bill but you can easily inform your foreign guest just how much his meal cost in a currency he can relate to. A group of visitors are likely to come back if they feel that they received good value-for-money.
2. Up to 12 lines of foreign text
Unlike some overseas countries we usually don't include a service charge on the bill (unless it's for a large table of 12 or more). Now you can tell your customer, in their home language, that a service charge is not included in the bill total.
3. Variable tip percentage with prompt
Servers in most Asian countries do not expect a tip (although China is now edging towards 3% as the norm) whereas in Europe and South Pacific 10% is the standard tip and in the USA you can usually expect to tip anything from 15% to 20% of the bill total.
The PowerTill tipping guide not only informs your customer of the standard tipping rates in South Africa it also reminds your waiter that good/excellent service will usually be rewarded with a bigger tip.
