With your Solo turned on, press the "Menu" button on the Shaker Solo to start.

Step 2:

Use the arrow keys to highlight the "Settings" option, or press the corresponding number on the keypad to quick-select the option and then press the green "enter" button to select it.

Step 3:

Scroll down to the "User Settings" menu using the down arrow and continue by pressing the green "enter" button.

Performing a Transaction with Tips Enabled.

Next, set the "Waiter ID" for the waiter you wish to log the tip against.

Example of how-to use Tip: Bean Brewing Coffee has 3 waiters, Avi, Bongi, and Chris. They recently decided to enable tips on their Shaker Solo. After a discussion, each waiter chose a unique waiter ID. Avi chose "01," Bongi chose "02," and Chris chose "99."Every time Chris processes a payment, he enters his unique waiter ID, "99," into the system. The tips for each waiter are displayed on the detailed and summary cash-ups, as well as the reports on iKhokha.biz.The manager can use this data to track and pay the waiters their tips daily. This system has motivated them to work harder and provide excellent customer service.

Step 3:

Use the numeric keypad to enter the transaction amount e.g. R100.00 then press the green "enter" button to proceed.

Step 4:

Select or let the customer select the tip amount by using the up and down arrows to highlight the option and by pressing the green "enter" button to proceed.
