Bill and close a table
From the bill to a free table: print the bill, take the payment, and the table is ready for the next guests.
Steps
-
Print the bill
On Table View, select the table and press Print — or Print Bill on the order screen. The guests get their bill and the table turns green, waiting to be paid.
-
Take the payment
Bill (or Checkout on the order screen) opens the payment screen with the table's order. Take cash, card or a split across several payment methods, add a tip, and finish.
-
The table frees itself
Once paid, the order becomes an invoice and the table goes back to blank.
-
The waiter stays on the bill
The invoice keeps the name of the waiter who took the order, so the waiter-wise report and the bill's detail page show who served it.
Good to know
- Add a service charge or a discount on the Live Orders settle window before you invoice.
- A takeaway or counter bill needs no table: use the normal sales screen, with Ask for table off or skipped.
