The next function is called set covers. This is used to enter the number
of covers, at any time for a table transaction.
Normally the covers would be entered at the beginning of the table
transaction. If the number of covers increase or decrease this key can
be used. 

Function 59 is loyalty. When this key is pressed the EPoS will prompt
for a magnetic card to be swiped or card number to entered manually,
to apply the loyalty to the transaction.
The loyalty feature will be covered in more detail later.

Function 60 through to 68 are the modifier keys, these keys are used
for modified products such as half pint or double and so on

The next selection from the system configuration menu is special
prices.

This is where happy hour  and time led promotions are set.
The term Promotions on these machines refers to the discounts,
premiums or mark downs .

First we will look at happy hour price bands.
There are up to 3 happy hours price bands that can be set.

The way in which the happy hour works is you would set the day or days
of the week you want the happy hour to be active, then you set the time
span for these days.
For example if you want  happy hour 1 to be set so all the products are
automatically sold at price band 4, on Thursdays  between 7 o’clock and
8 o’clock, you would set up  the details as follows:-
Select a Y against the day, in this example that would be Thursday, then
enter the start time, which would be 1900 hours and the end time, which
would be 2000 hours, you then select the price band you want the
products to be sold at during this time, which would be band 4.

There are up to 9 promotional periods that can be set.
