Event Accounts are intended to be setup for hosted events such as a wedding or party or corporate outing where payment is made by an individual or company and not the event guests. The event can be billed with one or more invoices when it is complete.

Event Accounts or “Events” are created in the Quick18 Admin. The first time you create an Accounts (of any type) you MUST launch the Quick18 TeeSheet App on each clover device that will be used to process Event orders and payments. Opening the App enables the custom tender and adds the “Q18 Account” button to the payments screen on the device.

To tender orders to an Account click the “Q18 Account” custom tender button on the payments screen which loads the Account Select screen. Find and click the Event in the list to charge the payment to. All available Account types are shown in this list. You can narrow the list by choosing which Account Type or search via Account or Customer name.

Individual orders tendered to an Event increase the Event’s Balance Due and are listed within the Event Activities. You can bill your customer separately and apply one or more payments for the entire event balance.

    • Closed – not selectable for tender, typically means the event is completed
    • Cancelled – not selectable for tender, typically means the event was cancelled

    Event Dates. The date the event occurs. The sort order of listed events is determined by days from the Start and End date of an event. Lesser values appear higher in the list. Payment Due date is used as the start date when calculating AR aging reports.
