Before you begin

Confirm these four things on every transaction

  • You are using the correct account.
  • The correct outlet, table, and waiter are shown.
  • The bill ID and amount match the customer request.
  • You know when approval is required.

Never share a password or waiter PIN. If the result of an action is unclear, stop and find the order or bill before trying again.
