Pay a table's bill¶
A table's bill is paid on the same payment screen as any other sale: cash, card on the card machine, part cash and part card, split by people or by items, on account or with a gift voucher.
Where: Tables, tap the table, then Pay the bill.
Any till can take it. An order taken at the restaurant till can be paid at the bar: the payment counts on the till that took the money.
One order or several¶
Most tables have one order: everything the table ordered goes onto it as the meal goes on (Add to order on the table). Pay the bill opens it on the payment screen.
Sometimes a table has more than one order, for example an order from the table's QR code beside the one rung up on the till. Each order is paid on its own:
- Tap Pay the first order. The oldest order opens on the payment screen.
- Take the payment. You come back to the table, with the next order waiting.
- Tap Pay the bill for the last one.
Each order prints its own receipt, so every receipt matches its payment.
Splitting the bill¶
Use the split on the payment screen, by people or by items. See Split the bill.
What shows on a table¶
| Order | Shows |
|---|---|
| Rung up on the till for this table, not yet paid | What it owes |
| Ordered from the table's QR code and accepted | What it owes |
| Ordered from the QR code, still waiting to be accepted | Waiting to be accepted. Accept it first in Orders |
| Paid online when ordered | Paid online, nothing to take |
| Rejected, cancelled or refunded | Not shown |
| From an earlier day | Not shown. Only today's orders count |
Good to know¶
- Tap any order on the table to open it on Sell: add to it, Send it, or pay that one first.
- QR orders keep going through the kitchen. Paying does not mark an order ready. Carry on with Mark ready in Orders as usual.
