Purpose of this manual

Single source of truth for front-office service and backoffice management

This documentation combines the live service workflows used by cashiers, hosts, and kitchen teams with the backoffice controls used by supervisors, managers, accountants, and inventory administrators. It explains what each screen does, when to use it, and what operational result to expect.

Audience

Cashiers, supervisors, front-of-house staff, managers, purchasing teams, accountants, payroll operators, and kitchen/expo staff.

Primary goal

Help end users understand what each screen does, how it supports day-to-day operations, and how front-office actions connect to reporting and administration.

Best for

Hospitality venues running counter service, dine-in, reservations, web ordering, delivery dispatch, loyalty, stock control, and management reporting.

Why this guide matters

It reduces training time, improves operational consistency, and gives managers one place to document both service and administrative workflows.

Operating principles

  • Create and review orders in the main POS before tendering payment.
  • Use Quick Actions for exceptions such as refunds, held carts, reprints, and promotional controls.
  • Attach customers, tables, and reservation context early so reporting and service history remain accurate.
  • Use backoffice dashboards and reports to validate what happened at POS, not to guess.
  • Keep catalog, pricing, stock, and supplier records current so the front office sees reliable data.
  • Restrict financial, payroll, and integration settings to authorized roles.
