Punching an order

Table or takeaway, then items. Nothing reaches the kitchen until it is fired.

Choose a table, or start a takeaway, and punch the items.

Do this

1. Outlet — which restaurant or bar this till is.
2. Channel — dine-in, takeaway, delivery, or an aggregator. Prices follow the channel.
3. Tap a table to open an order on it. An occupied table opens the order already there. New takeaway opens one with no table.
4. Shortcode — type PT and Enter for one paneer tikka, 3*PT for three. Fastest at a busy counter.
5. Or tap a dish. A greyed dish is 86'd.
6. The order — every line, the size, and the running total with GST.
7. Fire KOT when the kitchen should start.

• The menu is grouped by category and each dish may have sizes — half and full, small and large — each with its own price. Pick the size; the price follows.
• Quantity and a note per line. The note is what reaches the kitchen: "no onion", "very spicy", "for the child".
• The order stays open and editable while nothing has been fired. Once a line is fired it has been cooked, and removing it is a void with a reason, not a delete.
• Punching does not send anything to the kitchen. Fire KOT does. This catches every new cashier once.

A table with an open order is marked as such, so the next person to walk past knows before they seat anybody.
