Splitting a guest check
The system assumes all seats on the guest check will be paid as one; however, the ' tender' screen allows you to easily split a check by seats or equal payments. Additionally, you can split an item across seats.
Note: Aloha Cloud POS restricts grouping/ungrouping items for a split payment from the payment screen.
This document discusses the following:
- Splitting a guest check by seats
