POS (Point of Sale)
The POS screen is the workstation for waiters and admins to punch in orders right in the admin panel. An order is assembled from menu tiles in a few taps, bound to a table, and instantly lands in the kitchen and the shared orders feed.
Open: Admin panel → POS (admin.menio.ru). The screen is optimized for tablets — menu tiles on the left, the current order ticket on the right (on a phone — "Menu" and "Order" tabs).
Who can use the POS
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Owner | ✅ Full |
| Manager | ✅ Full |
| Waiter | ✅ POS and orders |
| Cook | ❌ (works with the Kitchen (KDS) screen) |
| Courier | ❌ (works with the Courier screen) |
Roles are assigned on the Staff page. If the order is created by a waiter, it is automatically bound to that waiter — visible in the order and in reports.
Creating an order
- Pick a location (if you have several) — at the top of the screen.
- Bind a table (for dine-in orders): "Scan QR" — point the camera at the table's QR code, or "Pick table" — choose from your client codes. If the QR belongs to another location, the POS switches to it automatically.
- Add dishes: tap the tiles. Search and category filters are available. If a dish has variants and add-ons, the options picker opens.
- Set the order type: Dining area, Pickup or Delivery.
- Add an order note if needed.
- Send — the order appears in Orders, on the Kitchen (KDS) screen and on the orders monitor.
Quantities are changed with "+/−" right in the ticket; an item can be removed before sending.
Tables and open orders
- The POS shows open orders on the selected table — you can continue an existing order (add a course) or start a new one.
- "Unlink table" removes the binding when the order has no table.
- The table list comes from Client codes — every table QR code acts as a "table" for the POS. See Floor Plan for arranging tables.

FAQ
Do I need special hardware?
No. The POS runs in a browser on any tablet, phone or computer. Just sign in to the admin panel with your staff account.
Can guests order by themselves, without the POS?
Yes — guests scan the table QR and order via the QR menu. The POS is for orders taken by staff (by phone, at the counter, tableside).
What happens after the order is sent?
The order gets the "New" status and shows up on every work screen: Orders, Kitchen (KDS), orders monitor. The kitchen then takes it — see Kitchen (KDS).
Is the order bound to a waiter?
Yes. An order created by a waiter is bound automatically. A waiter can also be assigned to tables in the "Waiters" mode of the Floor Plan page.
