Powering Up!
Micros 3700 is essentially driven from your back-of-house server. For the most part, your
POS system is always running. If for some reason your system is not up and running, its
relatively easy to re-start the connection.
Your system is running on one of two operating systems: version 3.2 or 4.0. The means by
which you re-start the connection is subtly different for the two versions. Read through
the next couple of pages for to determine your course of action.
Version 4.0 Start up via Start RES shortcut found on the desktop
Version 3.2
1. Initial programming should have all necessary icons on the desktop:
2. If these icons are not present, they can be found through the Start menu:
3. With the MICROS Control Panel now open, you want to click on Front of House
Switching status
from Off
to Front Of House
Select OK
This means
All systems are go!
Version 4.0
4. Your Log In screen should pop up on the server. Minimize this so you can work off
your server on other applications. Your Workstations will load and then be ready
to go!
POS Configurator
Appropriately named, the POS Configurator services many of the
different ways in which your system is configured. Fortunately, the
bulk of these configurations have taken place during the initial
programming.
For you, the primary reason that you use the POS Configurator is
the adding and editing of employees.
Follow these steps to add or edit employee information:
1. From the desktop, sign into POS Configurator.
3. Select
4. The first step when adding a new employee is to click the plus sign
towards the top of the screen:
SAVE
UNDO
ADD
DELETE
5. From here, there are four tabs in which information for your employees
needs to be added/edited:
a. General tab
When you move to the next tab, information from this tab
will be saved.
b. POS tab
d. Security tab
6. Once these tabs are filled in, click the green check mark to save. Thats it.
The information will automatically be uploaded to the POS workstations.

Autosequences
The lists of Autosequence reports are generally determined early on in the
programming to suit the needs and wants of the business. Accordingly, what is
available on this screen will vary from business to business.
Running an Autosequence
Many autosequences are run automatically at programmed times. Some
autosequences, however, can be run manually. To run an autosequence,
start the Autosequences and Reports module.
When you log in, the module opens to the Autosequences folder. Any
autosequences you are privileged to use appear as buttons on the folder.
(Autosequence privilege levels are assigned to employee classes in
Employee Classes / Privileges / Autosequences. The privilege level
required to run a specific autosequence is assigned in Autosequences /
Privilege.)
13
Reports
Reports come in three formats: full-page, 40-column and POS. A full-page report
is designed for standard-size paper, and can be printed on any Windowscompatible printer, excluding dot-matrix printers. All reports include a full-page
version.
A 40-column report includes basically the same information as the full-page
version, but is formatted to be 40 characters wide and is designed to be printed
on a MICROS roll printer.
A POS report is a 40-column report designed to run from the User Workstation for
the entire system. POS reports must be run through an autosequence and can
only print on a thermal or auto-cut roll printer. These reports look like standard 40column reports, but do not use Crystal Report templates and can not be
modified.
Most reports are designed to provide either revenue center-level or system-level
information. For example, the System Sales Detail Report is inherently a systemwide report; you cannot select the revenue centers to include in the report. You
can, however, specify a revenue center or range of revenue centers for the
Revenue Center Sales Detail Report.
The following are common report selection options:
Date
Many reports include a from date and to date as selection options.
The default value is always todays business date. For reports that are not
consolidated, a report will be produced for each business day included in
the range you specify. For consolidated reports, one report will be
produced that provides combined totals for the period you specify.
Revenue Center
You can specify one revenue center or a range of revenue centers. All
revenue center reports include this selection option.
Shift
You can specify one shift or a range of shifts. The default is always the
current shift. This selection option is included on all employee and cashier
reports.
Employee
You can specify one employee or a range of employees. This selection
option is included on all employee reports.
Cashier
You can specify one cashier or a range of cashiers. This selection option is
included on all cashier reports.
Menu Item
You can specify one menu item or a range of menu items. This selection
option is included on all menu item reports.
Micros 3700 Manager Guide
Revised 12/9/2011
14
Group By
This option is available only on menu item reports. You can specify if
menu items should be grouped by family group, major group, or menu
item group.
Time Period
This option is available only on time period reports. You can specify one
time period or a range of time periods for the report.
Regarding employee shifts The system tracks and stores employee shift information. When the option
Employee Classes / Clock In / Sign In / Increment employee shift on Clock In is
enabled, every time an employee clocks in and is not returning from a break
the system automatically increments the employee shift. Reports can be run
based on the employees previous shift, current shift, or a specified date
range.

From these report categories, a host of reports are available. In just a bit, well
share the nutshell version of what each report entails. This will allow you to
better pick and choose what reports best suit your business
Before we get to the detail of the reports, we need to cover one more bonus
with these specific reports.
When you have selected the report you wish to generate, you will be
prompted for range information. This allows you to specify the information to
include or exclude from the report. Different reports require different range
information. You can see the possible options for each range by clicking the
icon beside each field.
16
Preview or Print
When you have made the necessary range selections, you can choose to
either preview or print the report by clicking the appropriate button at the
bottom of the window.
If you select preview, the report displays on your screen in the Report Viewer.
You can make the report larger or smaller on the screen by clicking the Zoom
button. You can also print the report from the Report Viewer. If you click the
Print button, the report will be printed on the printer designated as your
default printer in the Control Panel. You can select a different printer in
Report Viewer using File / Printer Setup.
Now, on to the reports
The 3700 reports are designed to be easy to learn and to use. Standard
blocks of related information are presented repeatedly in a consistent format,
so you can quickly recognize them and become familiar with them. These
blocks of information are called profiles. Each report is made up of one or
more profiles.
The explanation of each report includes a list of the profiles included in the
report. These profile descriptions are designed to give you a general
understanding of what each column in the report is and where the numbers
originate. This information is useful when you work with an unfamiliar report, or
when you decide which reports will provide the information you need.
Quick recap
After opening up Autosequences and Reports, select the Reports tab:
17
It is from here that you will select the specific report you want, and then
select the date range. As you can tell, you have more than a few
options!

Report Profiles
Sales Profile The Sales profile provides sales quantity and gross and net value
amounts, as well as percentage of total amounts. Return quantity and
percentage amounts, and discount values and percentages are also included.
Daily Revenue Center Sales Detail - This report provides detailed sales
information, as well as guest, check, and table totals, percentages,
and averages for each order type in the revenue center. Tracking
group and labor category information is also included.
This information can be useful, for example, in balancing banks, and
comparing sales activity between outlets or departments. The report
can also be helpful for financial forecasting and determining staff
requirements.
Sales and Guest Profile - This profile includes information about sales,
guests, checks, and tables for different order types.
Credit Card Batch Detail Report - This report gives you detailed
information about each record in a settlement batch. Use this report

Micros 3700 Manager Guide
Revised 12/9/2011
20
Credit Card Batch Transfer Status Report - This report tells you the
status of a batch that was transferred to the credit card processor to
be settled. Any records that were not settled are listed under the
status line along with an explanation. Run this report after transferring
a batch and use it to determine if any records were not settled. This
report can be printed manually or as part of an autosequence.
Tip Profile - The Tip profile includes information on gross receipts and charged
receipts, as well as tip details.
Detailed Sales and Tip Profile - This profile is a combination of the Detailed Sales

Totals Report except the tax totals are summarized for the date range,
rather than being listed separately for each day. Period totals are
included.
Daily Revenue Center Tax Totals - This report summarizes tax collections
by active tax rate for a revenue center and provides revenue center
totals, daily totals, and grand total amounts.
21
Labor Category Profile The Labor Category profile provides information on the
number of hours worked and the associated wages by labor category.
Labor/Sales Profile Information in the Labor/Sales profile is listed by revenue
center. Within each revenue center, the figures are grouped by job category.
Each job is listed separately, and totals are provided for each job category, as
well as for the revenue center.
Employee Labor Profile The Employee Labor profile provides information on the
number of hours an employee worked and the associated wages.
22

activity by employee.
23
Employee Sales and Tip Totals by Revenue Center - This report provides
a summary of sales and tip information for each employee within a

24
25
Consolidated System Time Period Totals - This report provides the same
information as the System Time Period Totals Report, but for a range of
business days.
System Time Period Detail - This report is identical to the System Time
Period Totals Report, with the addition of tracking group and labor
category information.
Employee Closed Guest Checks Report - This report lists all checks that
have been closed by an employee, including reopened checks that
were closed again, and memo tenders. In addition, symbols appear
in the margin next to the check number to indicate if the check was
split (s), edited (e), cancelled (c), added (a), transferred (x), part of a
block transfer (b), or a fast transaction (f). This information can be
used as an employee audit trail, and can be helpful if the hard copy
of the check is lost.
Employee Open Guest Checks Report - This report lists all checks that
remain open at the time the report is generated. It can be used to
identify the owners of open checks so they can be closed. This report
is usually run before running autosequences.
26
Daily RVC Group Sales Detail - This report provides a detailed summary
of sales quantities, returns, item discounts, gross sales, and net sales for
this group. It also includes percentage information for each of these
categories. Information for each day is presented separately, with
totals for each revenue center and each day, and grand totals for the
period of the report.
This report is similar to the Daily RVC Group Sales Detail Subtotal by
Category Report, but subtotal information is not provided.
Daily RVC Group Sales Summary - This report provides a brief summary
of sales quantities, and net sales for each group, as well as

same information as the Daily System Menu Item Sales Detail Report,
but for a range of business days.
Daily Revenue Center Menu Item Sales Detail - This report provides a
detailed summary of sales quantities, returns, item discounts, gross

day, and grand totals for the period of the report.
29
Daily Revenue Center Menu Item Sales Summary - This report provides
a detailed summary of sales quantities, returns, item discounts, gross

POS Operations
Function Screen
Upon selecting this navigation key, the Function Screen will pop up. Like the
Manager Screen, this screen is exclusive to managers.
For the most part, the Function Screen is broken down into three categories:
1.
2.
3.
The pages to follow will explain the primary functions found under each of
these categories.
32
33
1. Upon selecting [Split Check] key, a table will appear with the entire
order listed on one check.
2. If the order is being split over more than two people (which is the
default), select [New} to add each additional check.
34
Found on the same page as Split Check, the Share key allows the user to
split the cost of the check evenly over multiple checks.
35
Adding and transferring checks are two variations of the same action. Adding a
check moves the transaction detail from one check onto an existing check, and
closes the original to a zero balance. Transferring a check changes ownership of
that check from one employee to another.
The distinction hinges on whether or not a guest check is open when the
Add/Transfer Chk key is pressed. If a guest check is open, the two checks are
added. If no guest check is open, ownership is transferred to the signed-in
employee.
Adding checks
Employees add checks in order to combine guest checks from parties
who want to pay on one check.
Example
George and Samantha arrive separately, are seated at separate
tables, and a new guest check is begun for each. They meet at
the salad bar and exclaim, I didnt see you come in!, and then
they decide to sit together. They flip a coin to see who wil0l pay
for lunch. George wins the toss, and asks that Samanthas check
be added to his.
Transferring a Check
Employees transfer checks to take ownership of a check from another
employee. This may be done when guests move from one part of the
restaurant to another (e.g., from the bar to the dining room), or when one
employee is leaving for the day and wishes to turn over open guest
checks to another employee. You cannot, however, transfer a check to
another employee.
Example
Samantha and George linger over lunch for hours, and the
waiters shift is ending. Rather than ask them to pay the check, it is
transferred to the employee arriving for the next shift.
When adding checks, the system displays all open guest checks
belonging to the signed-in employee. If that employee is privileged to
pick up checks belonging to other employees, then the display also
includes all open checks in the current revenue center.
If the signed-in employee does not have an open guest check, and they
are privileged to use the Transfer Check key, then the system only displays
open checks that belong to other employees in the current revenue
center.
36
As the name reads, this key allows you to pick up an existing check and
modify and/or close-out an order.
This pertains to Phone Orders, or for sit down service. A Check may be a
Guest Check Number or the name of the guest.
Select the order to Pick Up. Their order will then come up.
37
If the communication link between the 3700 system and the credit card processor
is down, you can call the processor directly and get an authorization code to
enter in the system. You may also need to perform a manual authorization if the
credit card processor responds to an authorization attempt with a message to
call for referral. More times than not, the credit card may be damaged and/or
de-magnetized, requiring a manual authorization.
Steps
1. Pick-up a guest check.
2. Call the credit card processor on the telephone and request authorization.
Write down the authorization code.
3. At the POS, enter the amount to authorize. (If you want to authorize the
balance due, skip this step).
4. On the Function Screen, press Manual CC.
One of the following happens:
5. Run the card through the magnetic card reader, or enter the information
manually.
The system displays Credit Card Info.
38
The Paid In key is used to record non-sales transactions that place cash in a POS
cash drawer.
The Paid Out key is used to record non-sales transactions that remove cash from a
drawer. Examples of non-sale transactions may include:
No Sale is a function key that opens the cash drawer outside of a transaction.
No Sale keys are usually used when an employee wants to make change.
39
This report shows the balance of sales for the current business day.
The reporting with this report will vary with the programming for the
business. For example, it could feature a consolidated report over a
range of days. It could also reveal the sales for a multitude of revenue
centers.
This report will reveal the Open Checks currently on all of the workstations.
Similar to the report above, but specific to the employee signed in on that
register.
40
This report allows you to see how effectively revenues were generated
during a specific time period. These reports include operational statistics
such as the average turn time and average amount per table to help you
gauge the efficiency of the revenue center or system.
41
The Dashboard key provides access to the current status of your sales and
labor along with Kitchen alerts and Employee information.

Type the check number and press the Reopen Closed Check key.
When the check is reopened, a privileged employee can void the
tender type and amount or charged tip amount.
The check must reside in the same revenue center as the POS that
the employee is using to access the check.
44
45
MANAGER PROCEDURES
The Manager Procedure module is a software application that provides
privileged employees with easy-to-use shortcuts that modify the system and
database.
Although many Manager Procedures perform tasks that can also be performed
through the POS Configurator, they offer the following advantages:
Changes that you make to the 3700 using Manager Procedures are posted
immediately to the database. These changes are implemented as if they had
been made in POS Configurator.
From any workstation, managers can access a host of reports and functions from
Manager Procedures. This screen is privileged from the Managers access only.
By and large, this screen will look like this:
46
As with the Function Screen, what is found here is broken down into three
categories:
1.
2.
3.
The following pages detail the most common elements of these three
categories
47
48
49
Timecard Adjustments
Managing your labor is critical for running your business efficiently. That goes
without saying.
From time to time, it is necessary to make edits to your employees timecard.
Usually, this is due to their forgetting to clock in or out, whether thats the start or
end of their shift, or for a break.
Whatever the case may be, making these adjustments is easy enough. Simply
follow these steps:
1. From the Manager Screen of the POS,
select Timecard Adjust
3. Higlight the appropriate Time Card Record, and then select Edit.
50
51
Close Shift
This key goes by a variety of names, such as Employee Balance, Server Balance,
Cashier Report, User Workstation Balance Report, etc. The variety in names
generally speaks to the nature of the business, be that a fast-casual restaurant,
full service, or a bar.
Whatever the name of the key, the function is basically the same. Upon selecting
this key, a report will print out detailing the sales for this server for the duration of
their shift.
Serving Period
When Serving Periods are initially programmed, they reflect general times of
serving breakfast, lunch or dinner depending on the nature of your business.
For example, Jasons Bistro may define all orders that come after 5pm to be
dinner. From 11am to 4:59pm, orders are qualified as lunch.
In selecting Server Period, you manually can advance one period to another.
Back to this example If a special event is running for an Early Bird special every
Monday beginning at 4pm, the manager can switch the system over to dinner at
the touch of a button. Instead of dinner beginning at 5pm, it can now register an
hour earlier.
52
Redirect Printer
For instances when a printer is not working, it becomes necessary to utilize
another printer. Selecting this key tells the computer to temporarily look for
another printer.
To redirect a printer,
Select / Highlight the Name of the original printer, and then press
Redirect Printer (or Edit). A list of choices will appear.
53
Employee Shift
Use this procedure to change an employees current shift.
Additionally, the system can be programmed to increment an employees shift
each time they clock-in as long as the employee is not returning from a break.
Reports can be run based on a previous shift, the current shift, or a specified date
range.
54
Employee ID
Use this procedure to assign ID numbers to employee records. Enter the ID
number by typing it on the touchscreen, or by swiping an employee ID card
through the mag card reader.
Employees can change records only for employees with the same or lower
Manager Procedure privilege level as theirs.
55
Employee Assignment
Use this procedure to change some fields in existing employee records.
You can change names, employee class links, cashier and cash drawer
assignments, job assignments and grace periods, and effective dates.
Employees can change records only for employees with the same or lower
Manager Procedure privilege level as theirs.
56
Use this procedure to change the availability and price of a menu item. If a
menu item is set to Unavailable, the system prompts Menu Item Not Available
when an employee attempts to add that item to a guest check. This procedure
selects and clears the Check Availability option in the Menu Items form.
This procedure may also be used to set the number available for limitedavailability menu items.
Menu item programming may be used to prevent specific menu items from
displaying in Manager Procedures. If this option is selected, the menu item does
not display and the record cannot be edited.
57
58
Assign Drawer
Your POS may have one or two cash drawers attached. There are two different
methods available for determining for whom the drawer will open. The drawer
may also be locked or opened in emergencies with a cash drawer key.
Ultimately, access to the cash drawer is defined through POS Configurator. Once
it is determined who will have this access, it becomes a matter of preference in
how restrictive you, as the manager, want the set-up to be.
To begin with, the simplest method of assigning cash drawers is to assign the
drawer to an employee in the Employees tab, found in POS Configurator.
Next, go to the POS tab. It is here that you will define the Cash drawer status for
your cashiers.
59
60
When an employee signs in and then selects the Assign Drawer key
(granted they have access), the reporting for their shift will exclusively be
theirs so long as no other employee signs on during this shift and repeats
the process.
All employees assigned to the same cash drawers (1 or 2) may open cash
drawers on this POS, or any other POS for which this option is cleared.
The difference between these two options is nominal. Ultimately, a manager can
control access to a cash register by updating the Cash drawer status within POS
Configurator between:
If multiple employees have a status of Cash drawer 1, all of them would have
access to working off of the register.
It then becomes necessary to run reports for all employees then that ring in a
transaction during the shift/day in order for the till to balance.
To heighten this security, the manager can grant access to only select
employee(s), and have all others status be None.
61
Cashier Reporting
Cashier totals are assigned to individual employees so that they may balance the
flow of money into and out of a POS cash drawer. Thus, the purpose of a cashier
designation is to assign responsibility and accountability of revenue through the
3700 tracking system. You can use the Managers Procedures module to change
a cashiers shift.
Cashier totals may be used in one of two ways: they may be linked to an
individual employee, or they may be linked to a specific POS.
Note
If cashier totals are linked to a POS, they remain in effect even when employees
sign in who are linked to their own cashier totals. In other words, the POS cashier
assignment overrides the employee assignment.
62
Note
If the Assign Cashier key is pressed without pressing a number first, then the
system will display the cashier link currently assigned or Not Assigned if there is
none.
63
By selecting Begin Till Loan, you are attaching a starting bank to the reporting of
your sales.
For example, if your starting till is $200, the reporting of your sales will include this
amount with Gross Sales. Net Sales will account for the till loan, along with taxes
and other item discounts.
64
65
Navigation keys are just that. By selecting on any of the examples below, you
leave the current screen and immediately navigate to your selected choice.
These choices are primarily selected during initial programming, but can by all
means be modified to better suit your needs.
66
67
Maintenance
Now and again, it will be necessary to re-boot your POS workstations as well as
your main server, or just re-load your database. Perhaps youve had an update
performed. Maybe you have new information on your database that you need
uploaded immediately. An electrical surge from a passing storm may have even
caused your system to freeze.
Whatever the case may be, re-booting and re-loading your system is easy
enough but it does require a couple of necessary steps.
Rebooting your system
The number one thing to remember for re-booting your server is that you
must always shut down the POS workstations FIRST! Otherwise, data on the
workstations could be lost.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open up MICROS Control Panel
68
3. Youll note the status as the Restaurant index goes from a yellow circle
back to a check mark once the database has successfully reloaded.
