Find a past bill¶
Quick answer¶
Serve ▸ Bills ▸ Quick Search or Filters ▸ open the bill you want.
What you'll accomplish¶
You find a bill that has already been raised, and open it to see what was sold and how it was settled.
When to use this¶
A customer wants their bill reprinted. Someone is querying a charge from earlier. You are checking what was taken on a table before the shift changed over.
Who can do this¶
Cashiers, managers and administrators. A cashier's sidebar shows only Overview and Serve, and Bills sits inside Serve.
Steps¶
- Open Serve ▸ Bills. Bills are listed newest first, with the bill number, date and time, customer name and captain shown for each.
- Narrow the list:
- Quick Search if you know something specific — a bill number or a customer's name.
- Filters if you are working from a range rather than a single bill.
- Open the bill you want.
Expected result: the bill's detail, including how it was paid.
Things to know¶
A settled bill records how it was paid, split by method — cash, card, bank or UPI, and anything on account — rather than as a single total. That is what lets you answer "how did they pay?" months later. A bill that has not been settled has no payment to show.
A bill carries the captain's name as well as the customer's. Useful when you are working out who served a table, not only what was sold.
A bill can be printed again from this screen. Printing another copy does not take another payment — it reproduces the same record.
If something on a bill is wrong¶
This screen is not where you correct it. A bill records a sale that has already happened, and what can be done about a wrong one depends on the state it is in — whether it has been settled, and what your restaurant's process is. Take it to a manager rather than working it out from this screen.
