Cashier order entry supports menu selection, quantities, notes and takeout orders. Preparation station assignments connect relevant drinks and food to kitchen or bar queues.
A counter workflow can use the existing takeout order mode as well as table sessions. Use menu categories and availability controls to keep order entry organized for the items your cafe actually serves.

Close the bill and print the receipt
Generate bills and record payment with configured taxes and discounts. Receipt printing uses the server’s configured transport; gateway integration is not implied by payment recording.
Check the guest’s selection before generating the bill, then record payment using the supported billing workflow. Separate payment recording from any external card terminal process your cafe operates.
