Steps

  1. Open the table

    On Table View, select the table. A free table starts a new order; a running one opens its order with the dishes already sent.

  2. Add dishes

    Select a dish, set the quantity and press Add to Order. Search finds a dish by name, and the side list filters by category.

  3. Add a note for the cook

    On a line, add a kitchen note — "less spicy", "no ice". It prints beside the dish on the ticket.

  4. Send to the kitchen

    Send to Kitchen prints the new lines in each kitchen and turns the table yellow. Lines already sent show their kitchen status — pending, preparing, ready — and cannot be repriced.

  5. Add more rounds

    Open the table again at any time. Only the new lines print, as a new ticket.

  6. Bill it

    Print Bill gives the guests their bill; Checkout takes the payment and closes the table. See "Bill and close a table".
