Billing

Pay-first ordering for counters, dhabas and QSRs

Switch the restaurant to pay-first and a guest's order is held until your counter takes the money. One tap releases it to the kitchen.

For a counter or a dhaba: money before the kitchen starts.

How it works

  1. Switch the restaurant to pay-first in Settings.
  2. A guest's order is held rather than sent — the kitchen never sees it yet.
  3. Your counter takes the money and releases it with one tap.
  4. Only then does the KOT print and the cook start.

What you get

  • Held orders in their own colour on the floor
  • The guest told clearly to pay at the counter
  • Per-table override, so one regular can still pay after

Questions about pay-first (prepaid) ordering

Can I use pay-first for some tables and pay-after for others?

Yes. The restaurant has a default and individual sittings can be switched.
