POS operations guide
A food court works only when order capture, payment, kitchen routing and pickup tokens stay coordinated. Kiosks help when they reduce counter pressure without making stall staff reconcile separate systems.
Customer orders at a counter or kiosk, pays or receives a payment token, KOT reaches the stall, pickup token is called and the sale stays in one report flow.
Each stall needs its own item list, tax setup, preparation routing and sales report. Shared counters should still preserve stall-level reporting.
Self-order kiosks, token printing, kitchen routing, pickup displays and stall-wise settlement reports are the core automation pieces.
Review item sales, payment modes, returns, discounts, staff activity and low stock every day before the business opens again.
