Understanding POS Dashboard

The POS Module is the heart of the Restro Platform, designed to simplify restaurant operations by bringing together menu browsing, order management, and billing into a single, intuitive interface. It allows staff to take orders quickly, customize them as needed, and generate accurate bills all while ensuring a smooth dining experience for customers.

In the POS, you will see all you added Menus and Menu Items in the center to select and proceed with the KOTs and Orders. Before going forward, add Menus, Menu Items and Menu Categories.

Menu Display Section

At the core of the POS page is the digital menu, presented in a structured and visually clear layout:

• Categorized Menu: Items are organized into categories (e.g., Starters, Beverages, Main Course, Desserts) for easy navigation. Staff can switch between tabs effortlessly to locate specific items.
  
• Search and Filter: A search bar allows instant lookup of items, while a Reset button clears filters and returns to the default menu view.

• Item Details: Each dish or drink is displayed with its image, name, and price, helping staff quickly identify and select the correct item.
• It also includes the veg and non veg tags, for drinks it shows the drink tag. All These details you will add while adding the items in the list.

This structured layout improves speed, accuracy, and efficiency in taking orders.

Order Section

On the right-hand side, the order management panel keeps track of all selections and customer details:

• Order Type: Staff can choose whether the order is for Dine-In, Delivery, or Pickup, ensuring proper routing.
  
• Table & Guest Details: For dine-in customers, staff can assign a specific table and record the number of guests (Pax).
• For Delivery, you can choose the delivery executive to assign for the order. 

• Active Order View: The order cart shows selected items, quantities, price, and total. An Action column allows real-time edits  such as removing or updating items.
