Common questions
Card payments are refused.
No default bank is set. The message names the screen: Accounting > Configuration.
Which bank gets my QR payments?
The one you select on the bill. For a dynamic QR, the QR merchant's bank.
Where do I count card and QR sales?
Cash Shift shows the cash, card and QR sales of the shift, for bills paid by one method only (Open and close the cash shift). Reports › Sales Revenue splits every bill, Split Pay included, into its payments by method (Restaurant Reports: the day's sales).
Can I keep the kitchen's stock and the bar's in separate stores?
The stock of every bill leaves the default store of the branch, so a restaurant with separate kitchen and bar stores records every sale against the default one (What leaves stock when a bill is posted).
