Settling a bill

Print the bill, take the money, settle. Several methods on one bill are fine.

Settle bill closes the order and takes the money.

Do this

1. Amount — the whole bill, or part of it for a table paying two ways. The order settles itself once the total is covered.
2. Reference — optional; the UPI transaction or card slip number.
3. The tender — cash, card, UPI and whatever your outlet takes. The small buttons under a tender are the kinds of it: PhonePe, Paytm.
4. Charge to a room — offered only inside a hotel: the bill goes onto a checked-in guest's folio, split by GST slab.
5. Complimentary — gives the bill away. It needs a reason and a manager's name, and is not a tender.

• Print the bill first if the guest wants to see it. The printed bill carries the outlet, the GSTIN, the tax split and the bill number.
• Payment methods are your outlet's list — cash, card, UPI, and so on. One bill may be settled across several.
• A discount needs a reason from your discount list, and a complimentary bill needs one from the comp list. Both show on their own reports; neither is a quiet button.
• Settling closes the table, which is what frees it for the next cover.

To charge the meal to a hotel room instead of collecting, see Charging a meal to a room — that is a different action, and doing it as a cash settlement means the hotel collects nothing and the restaurant shows revenue it never received.
