Inside the app
What is inside
The apps a fast food restaurant runs on, and what each does for a shift.
Counter tills
Cashiers take orders by menu category and each order is numbered on its till.
Drive-through
A second till with its own cash drawer serves cars, and its sales appear with the counter.
Meal deals
A combo product lets the customer choose a burger, a side and a drink for one price.
Kitchen screen
Orders go to a preparation display with To prepare, Ready and Completed stages.
Mobile money, cash and card
Each till takes cash, mobile money and card, and one order can be split across methods.
Stock and buying
Bottled drinks, patties, chicken and buns are bought from suppliers and received into stock.
Loyalty rewards
Regulars earn points on every order and swap them for a free cone or money off.
Staff shifts
Cashiers, cooks and supervisors are planned in morning and evening shifts by role.

Questions
Questions about Fast Food
Not covered here? Contact us.
Can one order be paid with mobile money and cash?
Yes. Payments on an order can be split between methods, and each method is counted separately at closing.
Do meal deals need a separate price list?
No. A combo product has its own price and lists the choices, and each upgrade adds its extra price.
Can the counter and the drive-through run separately?
Yes. Each till has its own session and cash drawer, and both report into the same sales analysis.
Does the kitchen see orders on a screen?
Yes. A preparation display shows orders by stage, filtered to the menu categories the kitchen prepares.
Can staff log in on the till without a user account?
Yes. Cashiers are employees allowed on the till, and each order records who took it.
Is there an e-invoicing connector for our tax authority?
E-invoicing modules exist for countries such as Kenya, India, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. On the demo, Kenya's eTIMS connector is installed and needs the company registration before sales are reported.
