What it means and how to use it |
Customer Table |
A customer table is the basic table used for serving customers. This type of table is part of your business’s current sales and reports. |
Employee Table |
An employee table is specifically designed for internal use in restaurants and businesses. Its main function is to help manage accounts while preventing unnecessary impact on occupancy statistics and the number of open accounts. This table is used for employee consumption or other internal transactions that should not be included in standard calculations. How to close an account on an employee table? Staff have several options for closing an account:
|
Long-Term Table | Similar to employee tables, revenue from long-term tables is not included in your business’s current sales. In the Overview section of Current Sales, income from these tables will not appear in the main overview but will be available under the graph. If no sale occurs on this table, the column will not appear. This method can be used, for example, for pricing levels or employee discounts without affecting your statistics and revenue reports. |
Takeaway Sales Table | A table designated for takeaway sales. If you order at this table, the system will automatically recognize that VAT on the sold items should be applied as takeaway. This happens automatically if you have VAT set for takeaway on your products. |
