How to read this documentation
The markers used on every page: roles, modules, settings, videos.
Before you start
- For 🧭 Manager 💳 Cashier 🍽️ Waiter 👨🍳 Kitchen
This documentation is written by task: each page answers a question like "how do I…". You do not have to read it all, nor know any technical vocabulary.
Finding your way#
- On the home page, pick your role (manager, cashier, waiter, kitchen): you only see the guides that concern you.
- Or type a few words in the search bar — press the
/key to jump straight to it. - The left menu groups pages by topic: Till, Floor, Kitchen, Management, Settings…
Markers on a page#
Every page starts with a Before you start box that tells you:
| Marker | What it means |
|---|---|
| For | Who it concerns: manager, cashier, waiter or kitchen. |
| Module | A feature your subscription may or may not include. If it does not show up for you, it is not switched on: ask your QodPOS contact. |
| Setting | A switch to turn on in Settings. Many features are off by default so your habits do not change. |
Coloured words, like Settings›Till, are the exact labels in the app: look for them on screen.
Videos#
Each topic has a short video tutorial, placed under the relevant heading. They last one to three minutes and follow the same steps as the text: you can read only the page, or watch only the video.
Language of the app#
The app can be switched to French, English, Arabic, Spanish or Dutch. A few messages (for example some confirmations at the till and on the PIN screen) are not translated yet and still show in French: this documentation gives their meaning in English.
Roles#
| Role | What they do day to day |
|---|---|
| Manager | Sets up the app, manages the catalogue, stock, team, reads the reports. |
| Cashier | Takes orders, gets paid, closes the till. |
| Waiter | Takes orders at the table from the waiter app. |
| Kitchen | Receives and prepares orders on the kitchen screen or the printed ticket. |
In a small business one person can hold several roles: then read the guides of each.
