Restaurants and cafés: add-ons, tables and the kitchen

Turn on restaurant mode

At Point of sale, click ⚙, then Restaurant & tables. Turn on Restaurant mode and add your tables (a name and an area like Dining room or Patio). Once it's on, a Tables button shows at Point of sale and Kitchen display shows in the menu.

Add-ons (sizes and extras)

Open the item from Products, and under Add-ons add a group for each choice.

1. Give the group a name (like Size or Extras), say how many choices are allowed (one, any number, or up to a limit), and whether it's required.
2. Give each choice an extra price (zero if it's free).

At Point of sale, adding the item shows its choices and works out the price, and you can add a note for the kitchen (like "No onions").

Tables and open orders

Click Tables. A busy table shows its order total.

1. Tap a free table to open an order on it, or a busy one to open its order.
2. Use New takeout order or New delivery order for orders without a table.
3. Orders are saved on the server, so any register can open and continue them.

Send to the kitchen

Add the items and click Send to kitchen. Items already sent get a ✓, and next time only the new ones are sent.

Kitchen display

Open Kitchen display on a screen or tablet in the kitchen. Orders show up on their own with a sound, and the cook taps Start, then Ready, then Served. Orders older than 15 minutes are marked red.

Pay and split the check

• Click Charge to pay the whole order, and the table frees up.
• Pay part: pick the items and quantities paid now (a separate check per person). The rest stays on the table until it's paid.
