DistributorFlow POS application view with a selected sample customer, product catalogue, two cart items and calculated sale totals. — **Point of sale**The actual POS view with two sample barcode selections added to the cart. No sale was submitted.

Create categories such as Meals and Drinks, then add the sale items with clear names, units and prices. Keep variants as records your team can identify correctly. Test product access in the POS account before opening the counter for live sales.

A sold portion and a purchased ingredient are different records. The product-kit feature combines selected catalogue products; it should not be treated as a dedicated recipe-costing or kitchen ingredient-consumption module.

Prepare the catalogue and prices

How do you record a cafe or takeaway sale?

Select the customer context required by the POS, add the items and quantities, and review the final amount. Record actual receiving and save once. Wait for the saved result before printing the receipt or moving to the next customer.

These sample amounts demonstrate the calculation; they are not current menu prices. Use your own business currency and actual prices.

What does this restaurant counter workflow cover?

It covers product-based counter sales, saved receipts, stock records and customer balances. Dedicated dine-in table management, kitchen order tickets, a kitchen display, split-table billing and recipe costing are not included in this release. Match the supported counter workflow to the service your business actually provides.

What should you test before your first service?

Try the menu items you intend to sell, one changed quantity, a discount and the receipt on your actual printer. Check a cash sale against the received amount. If offline counter sales are required, prepare and test the supported POS online first and reconcile the queued sale after reconnecting.

Product answers

Does receipt printing send a kitchen ticket?

The documented print workflow produces the saved-sale receipt. It does not provide a separate kitchen order ticket or kitchen-display workflow. Test the receipt layout with your intended printer.

Can a cafe owner review customer balances?

The customer and invoice records connect sale amounts with receiving and remaining balances. Use the intended account and period, and keep a promised payment separate from money actually collected.
