Signing In Sales Associates are required to sign in before making a POS transaction. Signing in allows the system to identify employees, track their activities, and limit their access to system-related functions. To sign-in: Enter the employee ID number (password) using the Number pad and press [Sign In] key. The employee ID will be given by the Manager / Franchise Partner Using an Employee Card Fig. 1 - Sign in Screen Instead of entering an ID number, employees may be given a magnetic stripe card for system identification. Clocking In This feature is currently inactive. This card can be used whenever an employee ID or password is required (e.g., to sign-in/clock-in, to a transfer cheques, etc.). To clock-in: To use the employee card, simply slide it through the Magnetic Card Reader on the right hand side of the MICROS Workstation. If the card is authorized, the system automatically goes to the next required screen. For assistance with programming Magnetic Cards email Second Cup IT— “scit@secondcup.com” 5 Use the numeric keypad to enter your employee ID number and then press [Clock In/Out] If this is an authorized ID number, the Main Screen will be displayed.

If you sign-in before clocking in, it will prompt you to ask you if you would like to clock-in at the same time. Main Transaction Screen Functionality Category Buttons Brewed: Includes coffee and tea items. This will be displayed every time a sales associate logs into the program.

There are “fast cash buttons” ($2, $5, $10, $20 etc.) or you can press cash it the customer is providing exact change. If a guest gives a different cash amount, use the number keypad to enter the amount and then press the cash button to determine the change owing to the guest.

A new set of buttons appear corresponding to the flavors of tea become available. Select the flavor, such as [English Breakfast Decaf], before proceeding to the next item or tender the check. If you accidently navigate away from this screen without having selected a flavor you will have to return and specify the flavor of the drink, before you can proceed further. Fig 18 - Forced Modifier 1 Fig 19 – Forced Modifier 2 12 Price Inquire Price Inquire is another new feature in Simphony. If you are unsure of the price of an item, you can press price inquire, then hit the button for the menu item. It will then indicate the price of the item, and give you the option of adding the item to the transaction. If you want to check the price of an item with different sizes, you have to select the size before pressing price inquire. Select the small size, press price inquire, and select Vanilla bean latte. If you select "no" it won't add it to the check. If you hit “yes” you can see it is added to the transaction. Fig 20 – Price Inquire 1 Fig 21 - Price Inquire 2 13 Applying Discount to an Order Switch to the Pay Screen menu, using the [Pay] key located on the menu bar at the top of the screen. Select the [Discounts] Key. Select which discount you want to apply from the list. Say for instance you want Colleague Discount 20% , which is number 17 on the list of discounts. You will enter the number 17 and then that discount will be selected. If the discount is for a specific item in the check, highlight that item before applying the discount. If you don’t highlight an item the POS assumes the discount is for the whole check. Once the discount has been applied and all items have been added to the transaction, the check is ready to be tendered. Fig 22 - Discount 1 Fig 23 -Discount 2 14 Fig 24 - Discount 3 Refund an Item Move to the Pay Screen and press the [Return] key. The Notification “Return On” will then appear on the top right hand corner of the screen. Then move to one of the menus (like Merchandise or Main Menu) and select the item being returned (like SC Glass Travel Cup 15.95). A box will appear asking you to select an option from a list of reasons for returning the item. For example, if it was a Customer Error, you should press “3” to select that option from the list as shown in the image below. The item will then appear in negative on the screen with the reason displayed below it. Once this is done cash out the transaction by way of appropriate payment. For example if Guest paid by cash press cash, if they paid by visa press visa, and so on. This will complete the refund. Fig 26 - Refund 2 15 Fig 25 - Refund 1 Fig 27- Refund 3 Currency Conversion Currency conversion lets Sales Associates accept and convert foreign currencies during transactions. The conversion feature allows a user to recalculate the cheque total by converting from the system’s base currency to another currency (i.e. US$) To tender a cheque to a foreign currency: Complete all of the sales transaction and then move to the Pay Screen: Select [1. Convert to US$] key. The amount due will be displayed in US$ Inform the customer how much they have to pay in US Dollars and then press Ok Press [2.USD Cash] and then key in the amount the customer is paying in US dollars. Press OK. The change due to the customer will then be displayed in both US and Canadian Dollars. Fig 28 - Currency Conversion 1 Fig 29 - Currency Conversion 2 16 Fig 30-- Currency Conversion 3 Void Tender- Cashier Void Tender is a method of tendering a check that has been subtotalled but has incorrect Items on it. Once subtotalled, items prior to the subtotal cannot be error corrected. They need to be tendered using Void Tender so that your manager can later void them out. If a Void needs to be done on a check DO NOT tender it as Cash, Debit, Credit, etc. Use the “Void Tender” button. Step one – in such a situation (as described above) navigate to the Pay Screen. The Pay Screen button is located on the top right hand corner of the screen. Step two – Press Void Tender. Step three - Enter Reason Step three – This prints a receipt automatically. SAVE THIS RECEIPT. Fig 31—Void Tender 1 Fig 32—Void Tender 2 Fig 33—Void Tender 3 17 For Managers/Super Cashiers Voids are to be performed by Managers and Super Cashiers only. This is the process of removing a check from the system as it was rung in incorrectly. Voids are performed for checks that have been tendered as a Void Tender. Step one – Collect the receipts that need to be voided Step two – Sign in Step three – Navigate to Functions screen. The functions button is the second from the right on the top of the screen. Step four – Find the Void Closed Check by Chk# button. Step five – Press the Void Closed Check by Chk# button. Step six – Enter Check Number from Receipt. Step seven – Press Okay. Step eight – The POS will ask you if you want to Void this Check. If you do want to Void this check, Press Yes. Step nine – This will void the check. Step ten – Print Receipt. Step eleven – Attach it to the incorrect Receipt that was tendered as a Void Tender. (You should also have a copy of the correct tender that corresponds to this sale.) Fig 34.—functions screen 18 Checking if you have any outstanding Voids Step One – Print a Revenue Financial Report or and Employee Financial Report. Step two – Check the tenders section. If you have a positive balance under Void Tenders, it means you have checks that have not been voided. Fig. 35—Void Tender 0n the report 19 End of Day On Simphony you don’t have to run an end of day. All you do is run a report to consolidate your sales and tenders for the business day. To do this navigate to the Functions screen. Press the Functions button towards the top right hand corner of the main transaction screen once you have signed in. Once in the functions screen you will notice the button called "The End of Day - Financial". This button generates the report for the current business day's financial overview and category based details. You are expected to print the End of Day report every night after the close of your business day. Once you press the button it will take you to new screen where you can view the report. Once on that screen at the bottom right hand corner you can see a button that says "Run Report", if you press that your report will be displayed on the screen. When you are ready to print a copy of this report please press the "Print" button beside "Run Report" button. This will allow you to have a printed copy of the current business day's financial report for your records. Fig 36– End of Day Report 1 Fig 37– End of Day Report 2 20 An example of the “End of Day Financial” report, so you may view the format. Fig 35 - End of Day 3 21 Lost Void Receipts Log in to scmicros.com, using the credentials provided to you by Second Cup IT. If you don’t have credentials email scit@secondcup.com to request new ones. For void tender receipts of the current day, go to reports and Today’s Operations. For void tender receipts from previous days, other than the current business day, press Daily Operations. Once there press Receipts at the bottom. From the list of tenders select Void Tender. 22 You will now see a list of every single check that was closed using the Void Tender. In the far right column labelled Check Total, any checks that have been properly voided will have 0.00 beside them. Any checks that have not been voided and still need to be voided will have a positive value. Get the check number and void it on your Micros Simphony workstations using the manager void procedures. If you cannot void the checks because too much time has passed and you missed the void window you will need to contact scit@secondcup.com and request someone assist you with voiding old checks. As you will notice this is a lot more work than simply having your staff save all of the automatically printed receipts and should not be relied on as a way of regularly doing voids. 23 Reporting Sales in Café Connection 1. After logging in to http://scmicros.com run the Daily Operations report. If you do not have a login/password for this website, or want general assistance with how to use this website, please contact scit@secondcup.com. 2. Click Business Dates and select the correct dates for the week you’re reporting. 3. (Optional) If you’re a multi-unit operator click Locations and select the location you’re reporting. 4. Click Run Report. 5. Note your Net Sales number and enter it into the café connections sales reporting portal. 6. Note your “Checks” and enter it into the reporting portal as “Transaction Count.” 7. Click “Net Sales” to open the Sales Mix Report. 24 8. Note your T-Disc sales from the “Sales Less Item Disc” column and enter them in the reporting portal. 9. Note your Tassimo Machine sales from the “Sales Less Item Disc” and enter them in the reporting portal. 10. Note your Prepack Beans sales from the “Sales Less Item Disc” and enter them in the reporting portal. 25 Auditing Error Corrections This section helps you find two types of suspicious activity associated with error correction. 1) A customer orders an item, the cashier rings in the item, error corrects it, putting the check back to $0, then subtotals it and tenders it. 2) A customer orders an item, the cashier rings in the item, error corrects it, putting the check back to $0, leaves the check open, waits for the next customer and repeats the process in the same check. Go to the daily operations report in MyMicros, select as many cafes as you want and as many business dates as you want, and run the report. Please note that the more cafes and business dates you select the slower reports will run. Once the report has run click Adjustments on the right hand side. 26 Once in the adjustments report click Error Corrects to bring up a journal of every time the error correction button was pressed. Once in the error correct journal click the Check Total header twice. The first click will make it sort by check total in descending order; the second click will make it sort by ascending order. This will bring all $0 and suspiciously low check totals to the top of the list. To review the checks click on the check as pictured above. You will now see the journal entry for that check. Please note that this view is not a raw view of the check, but an error correction journal view. The error correction lines are italicized to indicate that they are not part of the raw check (as prints on the receipt to the customer) but are merely journal entries used to audit suspicious activity. 27 In this transaction we can see that the clerk rung in the wrong size of the wrong drink (medium Hazelnut Latte $4.40) and then rung in the correct item and size (large Maple Latte $4.80). We can also see that the reason the check was $0 was because the customer was redeeming a loyalty reward for a free drink, and the cashier rang in this transaction correctly. This was a legitimate use of error correction. [Please note that the cash drawer will not open for $0 transactions, regardless of which tender is used.] Go to the daily operations report in MyMicros, select as many cafes as you want and as many business dates as you want, and run the report. Please note that the more cafes and business dates you select the slower reports will run. Once the report has run click Adjustments on the right hand side. 28 Once in the adjustments report click Error Corrects to bring up a journal of every time the error correction button was pressed. Once in the error corrects journal click the Error Corrects header to sort all checks by error correction amount. Look for any high error correction amounts that have a low check total amount. In the example photo we can see $16.95 of error corrections was applied to a $4.57 check. Select the check number to review the suspicious transaction. You will now see the journal entry for that check. Please note that this view is not a raw view of the check, but an error correction journal view. The error correction lines are italicized to indicate that they are not part of the raw check (as prints on the receipt to the customer) but are merely journal entries used to audit suspicious activity. In this transaction the cashier rang in a 1-lb bag of Caramelo coffee beans, then error corrected it and sold an iced Cafe Latte to the customer. Possible scenarios for this might be that the customer had insufficient funds, the cashier wasn’t paying attention and made a careless mistake, or used error correction to look up a price. If the latter was true the cashier in question should be trained on how to use the price inquire button. This transaction itself seems harmless on its own. 29 Frequently Asked Questions Q: My Workstation “End of Day” - Revenue Center Financial reports don’t have the correct Grand Total amount. I need this information for Profitmaker. Where do I get it? A: This number is available from scmicros.com in two reports, Property Financial and Revenue Centre Financial. These reports are also by default automatically emailed to all cafes on a daily basis. Please use these reports from scmicros.com, or from your email to fill out profitmaker. If you need access to scmicros or are not receiving the automatic emails please contact scit@secondcup.com. Q: Profitmaker has a line for the number of transactions and the average amount of transactions. Which line is this on my Revenue Center Financial/Property Financial reports? A: The correct line from the scmicros version of the report is “Checks” and “Per Check.” If you want to view these numbers on the workstation print out of the reports, they are #CHKS, $AV. Q: I’m looking at an End of Day – Revenue Center Financial report printed from a terminal. What does #GSTS, $AV mean and how is it different from #CHCKS, $AV? A: #CHCKS is the number of transactions rung in. #GSTS is a fuzzy logic prediction on how many people were served by your café. If for instance a customer comes in to your café and buys three coffees this will be one transaction and three guests. Food and modifiers don’t count as guests. Q: No sale doesn’t work. Why? A: No sale requires you to type in your password a second time as a security measure, even if you’re logged in as the manager. This is to prevent someone from gaining access to your cash drawers if you walk away from the terminal and forget to sign out. If you’ve done this and it still isn’t working please contact IT as your employees may not have the correct permissions. Q: No sale doesn’t print receipts. How can I keep track of who is using it and when? A: This feature is not yet available in Simphony, but will be available at a future date. In the mean time you can keep track of who is using and when they’re using it, as long as you have individual codes set up for each employee. Log in to scmicros.com and under “More Reports”, “Daily Detail” there is a “No Sale Report” that shows who used no sale, at what time they used it, and on which terminal it was used as well. 30 Q: Simphony is missing a shift report/drawer change like the one e7 had. How do I do this in Simphony? A: This feature will be available in the next version of Simphony which we will upgrade to as soon as it is made available to us. One workaround solution is that the morning shift can print two copies of the Workstation (Cashier) Report. They can then balance their tills from this print out. The second shift will print this report as well, and will have to manually subtract the first shift’s totals from the report. Another possible workaround is if you use shared login codes (1111) for all employees you can use 1111 code for the Pos1 morning shift, 3333 for the Pos1 afternoon shift, 2222 for Pos2 morning shift and 4444 for Pos2 afternoon shift, then run the Employee Financial report, since the sales will be separated by login code. Q: My staff lost their void tender receipts. How can I recover them? A: They can be found in scmicros.com, by going to the daily operations, or today’s operations reports, and clicking receipts, then void tender. The void tender receipts that were correctly voided will show check total $0.00 and the void tender receipts that haven’t been voided will show a positive amount for check total. Please see below for a full walkthrough of this procedure. Q: I get an error message “unable to communicate with server” from scmicros.com when I try to change dates. How do I resolve this? A: Updating Java to the latest version from http://java.com resolves this issue. Q: When I change dates on scmicros.com the sales data isn’t for the correct day. A: You are using the Chrome browser, and there is a known bug with the current version of Chrome, Java and scmicros. Please use Firefox or Internet Explorer. Q: E7 had a tender report. Where do I get this in Simphony? A: Run the workstation cashier financial report, and instead of selecting “Workstation 1” or “Workstation 2” select “None” and it will give you a tender report for all terminals. Q: Where do I find my Single Serve & Prepack Bean sales in Simphony? A: You can print your major and family group sales reports from the workstation. There are shortcuts for them on the function screen. They are also available in scmicros.com under the sales mix report. The sales mix report is by default automatically emailed to each café every morning at 8am. Please see below for cafeconnection sales reporting instructions. 31 Q: When is gift card integration coming for Simphony? A: In Calgary Perks will launch on Simphony in November, after all Calgary cafes are upgraded to Simphony. The rest of Canada will get Perks in Simphony as soon as the Perks launch is ready (sometime in 2014). Q: My old data from www3.mymicros.net is missing from the new site. Why do we have to go through the inconvenience of switching to a new MyMicros server? A: Unfortunately Simphony requires a new database. If you need assistance merging reports from the old server please reach out to Second Cup IT and we can assist you with this. We will look at archiving the old MyMicros website’s data in the future. In the mean time you can still log in to the old MyMicros website. Q: Where is the iPhone Simphony app? What about Android? A: We will be installing this in the near future. We want to ensure Simphony and the new MyMicros website core functionality is working perfectly first. This is a result of us taking over the hosting MyMicros, instead of paying Micros to host it for us. The Simphony mobile app should be available for Android in the next few months and we hope to have this up and working as soon as possible. Q: My staff hit Cash/Debit/Credit instead of Void Tender. The void receipt doesn’t print. What do I do? A: We have a fix coming for this from Micros, but in the meantime there are a few options. If this has already happened, to reprint the void log in to scmicros.com, go to daily operations, click on Receipts, find the check and click on the check number. You can then print it from there on your PC/Mac. If you need assistance with this contact scit@secondcup.com and we can find it for you and email it to you as a pdf. There is also a workaround if the check hasn’t been voided yet. Go to the functions screen, press Modify Closed Check Tender by CHK#, enter the check number to bring it back up. At the left side of the screen, i.e. the check view, click on the wrong tender (e.g. cash)to highlight it and hit error correct to remove it. Subtotal the check by pressing Counter Subtotal, then press Void Tender and enter a reason when it prompts you. Go back to the pay screen, and press Reprint Receipt from List and manually print the receipt you just modified. Now if you void the check the void will correctly print. A fix has been promised from Micros sometime in November. 32
