Lotus dinner manager

95LX 100/200LX

As a resident in training in internal medicine one of my jobs is to order dinner for the medical teams on call in the hospital that night.

I made a spreadsheet, DINNER.WK1 <Available ON DISK>, where I enter the names and pager numbers of those on call. I page each person around dinner time and take their order entering it into the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet adds up the total for each order with tax and tip. I then know how much each person owes me, and how much cash (including tax and tip) I need to pay for the delivery. The spreadsheet has columns for how much each person has paid me and the difference (do I owe them or do they owe me?). It totals these columns at the bottom to show the total that is still owed to me or how much I still owe to others.

So far it has worked great, although I do get some strange looks when I take out my 100LX for dinner orders!
