Tables, orders at the table, kitchen and bar tickets, kitchen screen, bills.

What it does

Runs a restaurant or café floor: tables at a glance, orders taken at the table, tickets sent to the kitchen and bar (printed or on a kitchen screen), and GST bills that free the table.

Getting started

1. Open Restaurant Settings and choose your business.
2. Add your dishes as items in menu groups (for example Starters, Main Course, Beverages) with their prices. Use SAC 996331 for restaurant service.
3. Add your Dining tables with their area and seats.
4. Add Kitchen stations such as Kitchen and Bar, the menu groups each one makes, and its ticket printer if it has one (see Printers in the getting-started guide).

Everyday work

• Open Tables. Free tables are white, busy ones orange with their guests, time seated and running total. Tap a table to open its order, or press Takeaway.
• Add dishes with a note such as "less spicy", then press Send to kitchen. Each station gets a ticket with only the new dishes, on its printer and on the Kitchen screen.
• In the kitchen, press Ready on a ticket when it goes out. Tickets waiting 20 minutes or more are outlined in red.
• Press Bill to make the GST bill, take payment, and print the receipt with Quick print. The table is free again.

Good to know

• Once a dish is sent to the kitchen it cannot be reduced on the order: cancel it with the kitchen, so the bill and the kitchen agree.
• Restaurant GST is usually 5% without input tax credit: set up that tax template under your GST settings.
• A service charge cannot be added to bills automatically in India: under the consumer protection guidelines it must be voluntary.
