Counter and Parcel Orders for Restaurants

Darshinis, cafes and parcel counters bill before the food is served, so the order and the payment happen in one step. This module holds that flow.

How a counter order runs

The customer orders and pays at the counter, and a token carries the order to the kitchen.

Token number

Each order takes the next token of the shift. The token prints on the bill and on the kitchen ticket, so the counter can call it out.

Payment first

Cash, UPI or card is taken before the kitchen ticket is sent, which is how most self-service counters work.

Collection

The token is marked collected when the plate or the parcel is handed over. Uncollected tokens stay on the counter screen.

Parcel orders over the counter and on the phone

A parcel order carries a little more than a dine-in line. Packing material is counted against it, a packing charge can be added, and the customer’s name and number are saved so the counter can call when it is ready. Orders taken on the phone or on WhatsApp are entered with a pickup time, and they appear on the kitchen screen only when that time is near. Own-delivery orders record the boy who took them out.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the counter bill without a table?

Yes. A counter order needs only a token, so no table is opened and nothing is left to close on the floor.

How is a phone parcel order handled?

The counter enters it with a name, number and pickup time, and it reaches the kitchen as that time approaches.

Does a customer display show the token?

Only where a display is installed. The counter screen always lists the tokens waiting to be collected.

Can a paid token be refunded?

Yes, with a reason and the staff name on the record. How refunds are approved is your rule.
