Questions
Common questions
Can a customer pay part now and part later?
A tab is paid in one go. If a regular pays later, record it as a credit sale under their name and record their payment when it comes.
Does it track stock by the bottle?
Yes. Set the unit to bottles, crates or cartons. Sales take stock off by the bottle, and deliveries add it back.
What if the network goes down?
Open tabs need a connection. Quick sales at the counter keep working offline and are sent when you’re back online.
