The Point of Sale functions as your digital cashier. Here we’ll focus on managing payments for Take Away orders where the payment method “Pay Later” was selected during initial entry, and which therefore remain pending.

While in the Butler Panel, from the left-hand menu, select the “Point of Sale” tab.

2. View Unpaid Orders

Locate and click the cash register icon. The red badge to its right shows the number of unpaid orders.A new window will open titled “Unpaid Orders – Table.”

In this window, you will see a list of all unpaid orders in the cashier, along with the products included in each order.
