Food and drink

Every table and every tab, at a glance.

See the whole room on the tablet at the counter. Open a tab for a table, add to it all evening, and split the bill when they ask for it.

  • A plan of your roomSeated, ordered, bill asked for, to clear. One look tells you where every table is.
  • Tabs that stay openAdd to a tab through the evening, split the bill when it is time to pay, and suggest a tip.
  • The rest is done for youEat in or take away with the right VAT, and a note on any line, such as “no ice”.

Table 2 sits down and orders. The plan at the counter shows it, with the total so far.

Retail

Tap it. Sell it. Stock counted.

Tap a tile and it is in the basket. Every sale counts your stock down, and the POS tells you what is running low before the shelf is empty.

  • Deliveries into stockReceive a delivery on the product’s own page, and its count goes back up.
  • Stock that warns youA count on every tile: fine, running low, none left. Write off breakages and out-of-date lines with a reason.
  • Refunds with a manager’s say-soRefunds, exchanges and voids ask a manager for their PIN, and both names go on the record.

Two sales at the counter. The counts on their tiles follow.
