Service day
A service day should feel connected from first booking to final close.
The page follows the way restaurant work actually moves: prepare arrivals, keep menu choices current, serve quickly, record payment and receipt context, then review the day before tomorrow starts.
- 02
Keep menu choices clear
Maintain menu products, options, and availability so staff sell from a current service view instead of a separate list.
- 03
Serve counter and table orders
Move orders through POS, sales, payment state, receipt context, and customer handoff from the same workspace.
- 04
Support repeat visits
Gift cards and customer engagement can be planned with the service workflow when those modules are part of the setup.
- 05
Close with operational context
Review sales, payment context, stock signals, staff notes, and reporting cues before the next service day.
Service environment
Counter, table, and close workflows need different station support.
Restaurant hardware planning starts with how service actually moves: staff take orders, guests pay, preparation stations receive context, and managers review the day.
