Chapter 1 - FS-3600 Overview Introduction

1.1 Introduction

The FS-3600 is a touch screen POS system for use in the hospitality industry. A companion keyboard entry terminal, the FS-2700, is also available. The FS-3600 and FS-2700 stations can be used interchangeably within the same system, even though not all touch features are available on the FS-2700.
The FS-3600 and FS-2700 workstations can be used in a system of up to twelve workstations operating off a network. A Backoffice PC running the Windows XP Professional operating system can be integrated in a system to run software for additional maintenance and reporting.
This manual describes guest check processing and adjustments. Details of programming and configuring the FS-3600 system are in the FS-3600/FS-2700 Programming Manual
The FS-3600 system offers a wide array of features that make it easily adaptable to all types of food service applications – including fine dine table service, dual drive-thru quick service, full-service bars, cafeterias, delis and school lunchrooms.
.
The FS-3600/FS-2700 system can be easily tailored for indi-
vidual restaurant menus, personnel and operating procedures. Menus and prices can be changed to accommodate daily changes in meal period prices.
The FS-3600 touch workstation offers custom programming for
any application through its unique system of soft-programmed POS touch screens. In addition to the Key Functions of the FS-2700, many touch specific features offer additional ease of operations.
A list summarizing POS Key Functions follows in this chapter.
Detailed explanations of the more common functions are included in subsequent chapters of this manual.

The right side of each screen is fully programmable for each store, (see the next section of this chapter for examples).

1.3 Sample FS-3600 Screens

When a FS-3600 workstation is powered on, the default screen for that station displays. This is typically a screen for employees to use to log into the station for POS operations. It can also be used for clocking into the optional Timekeeping system.
Make sure the initial default screen programmed for a station has {LOGIN/LOGOUT} and/or {CLOCK~IN/OUT} keys and a numeric
keypad. A {TOTAL} key is required if users are assigned passwords.
Sample – Login Screen
1-6 FS-3600 Owner’s Manual
Page 15
Chapter 1 - FS-3600 Overview Sample FS-3600 Screens
After logging in, the screen set as default for the employee’s Job Code will display. Different screens may display for servers, bartenders, cashiers, etc.
In most operations, after an employee has logged in, the system allocates the next check number. This is Auto Create mode. A station may also be set up for Recall mode where new checks are not started but only recalled.
The next sample screen could be used for an order-entry server. Since the next check is already allocated, note the following keys:
The {NEW~CHECK} key in this example is not a function key but
is a screen select. When pressed, another screen displays from which the server will begin entering menu items on to the check.
The {NEW~TABLE} key is also a screen select. In this case,
pressing the key displays a screen from which a table number and number of guest can be entered.
Table number, number of guest and order number can be
set as optional requirements for a check.

Sample - Start/Recall Check Screen
Assume from this screen sample that the {NEW~TABLE} key is pressed and that the check requires a table number and number of
guests.

Chapter 1 - FS-3600 Overview Sample FS-3600 Screens
In this sample {TABLE~NUMBER} and {#~GUESTS} are function keys which require a numeric entry. They are placed on a screen
along with a numeric keypad.
In addition to being a function key, in this sample the
{#~GUEST} key is also a screen link to another screen from which the server will begin entering menu items on to the check.
NOTE – the  key. In this example, the key function is actually
the VOID key, which also works as a destructive backspace. It has been labeled in this example to represent its function on the screen.
Make sure any keys that require a numeric entry are placed on screens that have a keypad.
Sample – Table #/Guest Screen
FS-3600 Owner’s Manual 1-9
Page 18
Sample FS-3600 Screens Chapter 1 - FS-3600 Overview
After any required prompts are satisfied the server is ready to enter items on the check.
In the sample screen below, each menu category key shown is a
screen select to that category’s items.
NOTE - the {SERVICE~TOTAL} key. It is actually the {TOTAL}
key but in this example has been renamed to suggest ending the service round. The {TOTAL} key sends items to the remote
printers.
Sample - Food Menu Screen

Chapter 1 - FS-3600 Overview Sample FS-3600 Screens
Assume the screen link key for STEAKS was pressed from the previous screen (FOOD MENU sample).
As Menu Items keys are pressed, any programmed Forced
Displays for that item will appear.
NOTE - the {BACK} key in this example is a screen select to go
back to the FOOD MENU screen from which another Menu Category can be chosen. There is no actual function key for BACK.

When a check is ready to be tendered, a screen with cashier functions can be used.
NOTE the {ENTER} key – this is actually the TOTAL key which
is also used to finalize a numeric entry. In this example, it has been renamed to represent its function on the screen.

3.12.7 Tender with {MEDIA~NLU}

The {MEDIA~NLU} key was designed as a FS-2700 function but can be used on the FS-3600.
The numeric entry indexed prior to pressing {MEDIA~NLU} is
recognized as the media’s I.D., so an amount tendered is not used.
If using the {MEDIA~NLU} key with split tendering, make sure
the SPEED TENDER option is set to NO, so the user is prompted for the amount of the tender.
See the chart on page 3-48 for how the SPEED TENDER and
PAY IN FULL options work since the amount tendered cannot be entered prior to selecting the media with the {MEDIA~NLU} key.
Procedure
1. Enter item(s) or recall the check.
2. Index the media I.D. number wanted and press {MEDIA~NLU}.
If SPEED TENDER is NO, screen prompts:
Enter amount:
