As mentioned in a previous article, for Butler’s Point of Sale to work, you must create a special table of type “Take Away” or “Delivery.” Let’s go through the steps to set this up quickly and easily.
1. Go to the “Tables” Tab
From the left-hand menu of the Butler Panel, select “Tables.”
2. Add a New Table
Click the “Add Table” button located at the top of the page.
3. Fill in the Details
Name: Give the table a descriptive name, such as “CASHIER” or “Take Away.”
Token: You don’t need to fill in the “Token” field for tables used exclusively in the Point of Sale, unless you want to allow your customers to send information to the same table through Butler Ordering.
4. Select Table Type
Choose the type “Take Away” or “Delivery” depending on your needs. For the Point of Sale, the type “Take Away” is usually selected.
5. Save
Click the “Add” button to create the table.
After creating the table, go to the “Point of Sale” tab. At the top right of the screen, you should see the name of the table you just created (e.g., “CASHIER”). This means the process was completed successfully, and you are ready to record Take Away orders from the Point of Sale.
If you also want to use the Point of Sale for Delivery orders, you can create an additional table with type “Delivery” by following the same steps.
