Creating a Selling Items is usually the first experience a user makes with Septim Manager Application. In fact you are recording your Menu including the prices into the Septim Manager. Inserting Selling Items is very easy and anybody who is shortly trained can do it. Still inserting your Selling Items is the most import step you need to do before you open the outlet and it cannot be skipped.

We recommend to install the off-line cash register for certain type of operation. This cash register does not depend on constant connection to the central computer and is able to fully conduct all functionalities only with electricity supply.

The off-line cash register has its pros and cons. The main advantage is the independence and guarantee of functionality in case of any net or central computer failure. The disadvantage is the delay in transfer of information about sales and Selling Items deduction. This operation is still done but only periodically in a pre-defined time. It is not conducted constantly like if the system using on-line connection.

Our policy is to offer only such devices and connection to the devices which were designed exclusively for Food & Beverage industry.

Mobile Cash Register Orderman can replace the normal desktop cash register. The waiters can serve the guests directly at the table. For example the waiters can write down the order, split the bills and print the bills. It also of course communicates with cash registers in the restaurant and the kitchen. Our experience is the Orderman can save up to 40% of walking for the waiters and consequently the staff can serve up to one fourth more of the customers. The actual operation procedures need to be optimized for the remote ordering system.

POS Septim offers the possibility to connect to Spectu. We use the most up-to-date technology and the Apple iPad mini. Mobile Waiter Spectu App enables to open bills, send orders and close the bills right from the table. The order can be sent directly to the kitchen and the cash register. Basic functionalities, clear design and touch gestures enable easy orientation and fast service.

Septim can communicate with payment terminal Ingenico. This supports the electronic acceptance of bank payment cards. Česká spořitelna, GEmoney and KB are supported.

The terminal supplied by your bank accepts chip, magnetic and contactless card. This saves you from cash handling, increases the safety and guarantees the payment reception.

“KitchenDisplaySystem” (KDS) can coordinate and manage processes in the kitchen. The extra functionality is helpful for the Chefs as it distributes the task to dedicated departments. The system will calculate when to start preparing the meal to ensure the proper timing for the services of dishes.

KDS is optimized for touch monitors and can have variety of settings. The screens can be split for example into the starters or main dishes production and expenditure.

The tool supports evidence of employees working hours. Attendance Module can export data useful for processing the salary calculation. ID cards can record the working hours.

The module will be useful for properties with meeting rooms, wellness facilities, few bedrooms or other equipment to rent. The module for Object Reservation makes a clear evidence of reserved objects including the graphical overview in the plan. Unconfirmed or definite reservation are color distinguished.

The module is targeting customers who are often renting their rooms and areas for internal catering events and need exact reporting about their profit. The actual profit evaluation of the catering events may be difficult because the timings of the events often overlap. This module helps with the exact stock and cash register operation evidence. The financial results are than available on one button press.

Many of our customers from F&B and wellness industry offer their services and products at the „Slevomat“ website. Our goal is to create such a support which will grant enough safety for voucher redeem procedure. The cash register connects to the Slevomat server and checks the validity of the code provided by guest. As soon as the transaction finishes the code is deactivated. This prevents from multiple usage of one voucher.

Many companies now change from paper form of the meal tickets to electronic tickets Benefit Plus. This brings major reduction in administration processes. Septim can easily accept and record the E-Meal Tickets.

The adjustments of user rights is often underestimated however it is a very powerful tool how to control what each user can or cannot do with the cash register. As soon as you face a problem usually the first question is why it happened and who is responsible. It is advisable to make sure that for example only the manager can void the bill and not the service staff.

We realize how important the user rights are and for that reason we have worked out variety of possibilities! The user groups are available so the rights can be defined in an easy, fast and correct manner.

This module is designed for company dinning commons and allows advance meal ordering. The diner can order here meals for a pre-defined period in advance. The ordering kiosk is the point where diners can order meal directly at the dinning place. In the companies where most diners have computer access the meals can be booked also directly on the web site. The diner can of course within a given time limit change or cancel the order.

The advantage is the diner´s meal choice is guaranteed. The operator of the dining commons also gets the exact number of portions to produce.

The expenditure terminal takes care about the smooth distribution of ordered meals.

The ordering module depends on the diner using his card. The diner identifies himself in the system with the card to be able to place an order or trade in any other ordered meal.

Another Septim extending functionality supports also the dining for school and includes:

The system is always adopted in such a way it is able to serve in a non-ordering environment as well. It is designed also for the meal distribution in the operation where the diner does not have to book his meal in advance. The diner´s meals choice is not guaranteed. It depends on the status of distribution and amount of remaining portions.

The module for Subsidy is always included in the system for company dining. The module serves to calculate subsidy for diners in company dining. The employer provides subsidy to his employees for different types of meal (soup, main dish, salad, etc.)

The module aids to properly assign and calculate the amount of the meal price the employee can claim to the employer and the amount paid directly by the employee. The requirements for meal subsidy calculation differ a lot. For this reason we offer a variety of configuration possibilities. The diner identifies himself by ID card at the cash register and the system evaluates if the diner is entitled to the subsidy.

The subsidy can be provided right at the payment. The advantage is the diner can see directly on the bill how much he is paying for his meal. Another way is to provide the subsidy only on the end of accounting period (usually 1 month) based on final reports summary. This is usually used for example when the subsidy depends on the actual hours worked.

The operator of the dining commons can provide the employer with detailed information to be used for salary calculation export in either case. The reports are usually created on specific request.

Both modules include basic features used in sport centers, wellness centers or swimming pools.

The sport facilities often provide paid unattended services. It is worthy to equip the customers with contactless cards. The cards can be than used on the facility entrance and calculate the time spent inside of the center.

The comfortable one-use service feature is available too. For example the card can be used at the beverage station or for toboggan entrance.

The databank is a special type of Septim system. It is dedicated for synchronization of recipes database, its ingredients and stock items shared among several operations. It helps you in maintaining the uniformity of evidence without having to make the same configuration in each property.

The system is suitable mainly for restaurant´s or other chains. The shared database and its CRM programs are used in any of the chain property just on submitting the customer card. Any transaction on the customer card is authorized on-line by secured internet connection and is recorded for later evaluation. The customers can review their accounts or benefits by logging in on the web site.

Webcare is a special web page created for final guests to be able to see detailed overview about the consumption, account or collected/redeemed bonuses. Our intention is to maximize the comfort of the final guests.

The restaurants with large clients’ database usually use the WebCare Application. The dining commons using the ordering module can use Webcare for the diners to be able to order meals comfortably at home or at the office PC. Clearly organized consumption reports are of course available within the Webcare Application too. Webcare can be customized according to specific requirements on the content or the layout. Please see the Webcare Demo here.

Recipes as well as stock items can be imported to or exported from Septim. It can be just one-time import. The central database can be created to manage to recipes for several properties within the chain. The uniformity is maintained for all the properties. The possibility to modify recipes and stock items directly on properties can be deactivated.

You can eliminate errors of having one item under different name in various properties by using the import and export function in central database. The reports can be than used for food costs comparison.
