It is now possible to open and re-open table transactions by swiping a Credit Card. This
enables the credit card to be authorised before goods are supplied.

A new setting has been added to RINCS.CFG as follows :-

REM V4.3****************CREDIT CARD FOR TABLE SET***********************

REM TO ALLOW THE OPENING OF A TABLE USING A CREDIT CARD
REM REMOVE THE REM STATEMENT BELOW

REM ********************CREDIT CARD FOR TABLE END***********************

To enable this function remove the REM in front of CCTABLE=1.

After a server has signed on it is possible to swipe a Credit Card (it is not possible to
manually enter the number). The POS will then prompt for table number entry and covers.
The POS will also at this point authorise through Commidea or Retail Logic a sale of 1p, this
checks the validity of the Credit Card. An authorised voucher is printed containing the
following  text :-

A pre-authorisation has been made for
the value of 1p as a card security
check, this amount will not be charged
to your account.

Any goods/services provided under this
TAB will be paid for on card no.
{Card No}
in the event of non-payment to collect
any outstanding balance.

If the table is then held it is possible to re-open it simply by swiping the Credit Card. Normal
finalisation has to be carried out in the normal way using the Credit Card finalisation routine.
Alternatively the table can be paid for using Cash or Cheque.
