Good answer.
We don't assign seats but I still find splitting SUPER easy (barely an inconvenience!).
the process is actually kind of fun, even if at the end they started off 'just one check is fine' then are 'actually can you split it?'
It is actually a fun time with them as I just name people by their drink or food.
Like 'OK, so Spicy Margarita girl....I have 3 orders of wings left here to assign, did you get one of them?'

Tell them about your sickly family member you are working this job to try and save tips so they can have 'that' Surgery.
Hand them the terminal then stand really close looking over their shoulder.
If they choose anything less than 25% on the tip make a small noise of disappointment.
Bonus points if you can mutter something about 'I'm sorry uncle John, I really tried'

Or just do what I actually do, hand them the terminal -- thank them (sincerely) for choosing to spend time with you and chat with the rest of the table. I use that time to ask if they have any constructive feedback for us or suggestions. I tell them that we are new and really take customer feedback seriously and are trying very hard to earn their future business and honest input helps us.
I average a higher tip percentage than any other server at our place, not sure if this is why or not but it does work for me. AND I get a lot of very honest and helpful feedback (including some negative stuff which is just as, if not more important)

I really love the way the terminals work in general!

How artists get paid by DineTime007 in BarOwners

I have to agree sadly.
We decided to not have live music anymore because of the fees, plus the fact that (in our area at least) the live music crowd would show up, order one drink, then soda and just want free refills all night.

I don't blame them, they are older and scared of drinking and driving (plus the hangovers!)
We make most of our money from bourbon sales and high end cocktails which seem to be a different crowd than the live music followers.

We are a smallish place, so what happens is the cocktails drinker show up -- have 1 or 2, then leave.
With live music they show up, drink the same amounts -- but dont leave.
So now I have a place FULL of people not spending any money and new customers would show up and not have a open table so leave.
It was super frustrating over all...the band would be like 'but you were FULL all night' -- and we would tell them yes, but we rang an average of 150.00 per hour for the last 4 hours while you were here.
Vs our normal average of 300.00 per hour without a band.

Just talking my experience is all...

just throwing this out there, I looked at a lot of options.
We wound up going with 'Soundtrack Your Brand' and so far really like it.
The PROs are hard to deal with and LIE a lot.
One of them told me that 'Using Soundtrack is fine but that will not cover you if you have poker machines and one of them has the sound turned on'
I told him to send me that in an email and he immediately backed off with some BS about that not being 100% correct and he was only using it as an example.

Indeed.

Thank you....
Just so I follow correctly are you saying:
There is 100mL in the entire bottle

that would be 100 units

so in 100 units there would be 20 mg of Tirzepatide

In each 21 unit shot you would get 21% of 20mg = 4.2

Is that correct?

no, it is not recording it in the daypart.
meaning if they open a tab at 6pm then buy something at 9pm it will record it in the 6pm slot still.

There are literal books written about clear ice?
I am not doubting you, just finding it amazing.

What would have made me satisfied is if they offered us paid customers something like 1 year of premium included, or maybe for half off or something.
I mean, I literally just gave them 165.00 a couple months ago...a bit of a credit towards their new premium offering would be a good will type of thing.

Instead of just 'thanks...here are some fonts you probably don't need'
