Running the till
Everything you do at the till, in plain words. New here? Read the first section — it is the whole job in 60 seconds.
The till in 60 seconds
You work on Sell → POS / Till.
To sell something:
- Tap the item’s photo tile, or type in Search products by name…, or tap Scan and scan the barcode. In a rush, the ★ Top sellers tile shows your best sellers on one page (a category bar at the top on most tills; a Café home tile on a minimart/grocery till — see “Adding items” below).
- One tap adds the item with its usual options already chosen. To change the options, press and hold the tile for half a second — the options box opens with the defaults pre-ticked; adjust and tap Add to cart — AED X. (A few items always open the box on a plain tap — when the till can’t guess a complete valid choice for you.)
- Repeat for every item. Use the − and + buttons on a line to change quantity.
- Pick the Order type: Dine-in, Takeaway or Delivery.
- Tip, promo code or discount? Tap the Adjustments row above the total.
- Tap Pay now AED X. Pick Cash, Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Other.
- Cash: tap a money chip or type what the customer gave you. The screen shows the Change. Press Enter to finish.
The 6 things you will need every day:
| Need | Do this |
|---|---|
| Food order — kitchen cooks it | Send to kitchen (take payment later with ⚠ Collect payment on the Recent panel) |
| Note for the kitchen (“no onion”) | Tap + Note on that line, type it |
| Customer will come back later | Tap Park. Tap Park again to bring the sale back |
| Split the bill | In the payment window tap Splitting the bill? Tap here, then use the ½ or ⅓ chips |
| Reprint a receipt | Recent panel (right side) → Print |
| Refund or void | Recent panel → Refund or Void. If it shows 🔒, call a manager to type their PIN |
Start your shift
- Open Team → Shifts (or the shift panel on the till page).
- Tap Clock in.
- Count the cash in the drawer. Tap Set opening float and enter that amount.
Adding items
The three ways to add an item:
- Tap it. Categories are across the top — the first pill is ★ Top sellers, a one-page grid of what sells most (learn this page first). Tap a category, tap the item’s photo tile— every tile shows the photo and price, so you can sell by sight before you’ve memorised names.
- Search it. Type in Search products by name…. Results appear as you type.
- Scan it. Tap Scan and use the camera, or just fire the barcode gun — the till listens all the time.
Item not on the menu? Tap Open item, type a name and a price. Use this rarely — it deducts no stock.
Items with options (size, milk, extras):
One tap = the usual. Tapping a tile adds the item straight to the cart with the default options — no box, no extra taps. The cart line lists what was chosen, so glance at it once. To change the options: press and hold the tile for half a second — the options box opens with the defaults pre-ticked; the button at the bottom shows the live price (Add to cart — AED X). A few items always open the box on a plain tap — when the defaults aren’t a complete valid choice, the till asks instead of guessing.
Weighed items (by kg):
The till asks for the weight in grams. Type what the scale shows. A weighed line has no − / + buttons. Each weighing is its own line. Second bag of olives = weigh again, new line.
Notes, parking and tables
Kitchen notes. Tap + Note under the line. Type the request (“no ice”, “extra hot”). It prints on the kitchen ticket and shows on the Kitchen screen.
Park and resume. Customer forgot their wallet: tap Park. The cart is saved and cleared. They come back: tap Park again, pick their sale from the list. Carry on.
Order type and tables. Pick Dine-in, Takeaway or Delivery under Order type. Dine-in shows a table picker. No tables set up yet? Counter service is fine — or a manager adds tables on the Tables page.
Loyalty — attach the customer
Tap the big Add customer button. Type their phone number (starts +971). Pick the match, or save them as new with a name.
Do this before paying so the sale counts for their points.
Taking payment
Send to kitchen vs Pay now:
- Send to kitchen — food goes to the Kitchen screen now, money comes later. A green Sent chip appears with the order number.
- Pay now AED X — take the money immediately. Use for takeaway coffee, retail, anything quick.
To take payment later on a sent order: find it on the Recent panel and tap ⚠ Collect payment.
Tip, promo code or discount first? Tap the Adjustments row just above the total. It folds open to Tip (10% / 15% / 20% chips or a typed amount), Promo code (type it, e.g. FLOW10) and Discount (+ Add— managers type it straight in; cashiers need a manager PIN 🔒). Once set, the closed row still shows a green summary so nothing hides. Only one discount per order — a promo code and a manual discount won’t both fit.
The Take payment window:
- Pick the Method: Cash, Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Other. (The till remembers your last choice.)
- Cash: tap a quick amount chip or type into Cash tendered. The window shows Tendered and Change.
- Card / wallets: take the payment on the card terminal first, then you may type the slip number in Payment reference (optional).
- Press Enter or tap the Confirm — AED X button.
If the confirm button is grey, read the red line above it — usually the cash entered is too little.
Splitting the bill:
- In the Take payment window tap Splitting the bill? Tap here. Bina saves the order first, then takes each payment separately.
- Tap ½ or ⅓ for an even split, or type the exact amount for this person.
- Confirm. The window shows what is still Remaining. Repeat until zero.
Each person can pay a different way — cash then card is fine.
Fixing mistakes
On a line in the cart: wrong quantity — use − and +. Wrong item — remove the line. An Undo chip appears for a few seconds if you slip.
Refunds, voids, reprints (all on the order, not the cart):
Find the order on the Recent panel (right side) or the Orders page.
- Print — prints the receipt again. The copy says *** REPRINT *** so nobody can claim it twice.
- Refund — money back on a paid order. Full or part amount.
- Void — cancel an unpaid/mistake order, with a reason.
If the button shows 🔒, you need a manager. They type their PIN — never learn or share anyone’s PIN.
Just paid and the print links are not there yet? The chip says ⚡ syncing — prints from Recent in ~2s. Wait two seconds, then print from Recent.
If the internet dies
No internet? Nothing changes for you. Keep selling — orders queue up and send themselves when the line returns. Do not close the tab, do not restart the machine.
End of your shift
On the Home page from 5 PM you will see 🌙 Closing up? Follow it in order:
- Settle open tickets — every order finished or voided (Orders page; managers can use Close stale tickets).
- Count the drawer & clock out — on your shift, tap Clock out. The cash-up asks what you counted, then tap Close shift. It shows Expected closing vs your count. Over or short is recorded — tell your manager, do not “fix” it.
- Run the Z-Report — usually the manager (Reports → Z-Report).
