On Hold Tickets

What are On-Hold tickets? This question and a couple others was something asked by Rick & Judy from Mountain Mudd. Tickets can be placed on-hold for a number of reasons. . . The first is that the payment is not being made until later and the second is that the ticket has a credit card assigned to it and the tip has not been processed. An on-hold might be: Someone called an order in and it will be paid for when they get there. They are running a tab in the store. They don't have enough money or need to go grab their wallet / purse. The order is in a drive thru and you need to take the next car in line. and so on. . . As you can see, this is a powerful feature. SP-1 allows you to pull these on-hold tickets back off and close them out at anytime. On-hold tickets are designed to be closed by the end of the day. With credit cards (assuming you are processing through the POS and not a separate machine), the credit card is processed immedietly and then put on hold until the tip is added and processed (assuming you are processing tips!). If you don't put a tip the credit card was still sent to the processor. If you leave tickets on-hold, you will notice that the Business Summary at the end of the night will show you in two places that it is on-hold. First at the top of the printed or viewed page and then on red at the bottom of the Business Summary screen. The on-hold ticket is included in the totals on the Business Summary as we have to assume that you closed the ticket out and did not record the total.
