Sales Type Area
Sales Type
The following sales types, which you set up initially for your business in the Sales Channel, are available in enforePOS:
- Over the Counter: Sales items can be bought over the counter and taken away.
- Pickup: Sales items can be ordered online and picked up at the POS location. Here you can also choose between Ad hoc and Scheduled pickup and set a default.
- Delivery: Ordered sales items are delivered to the customer.
Your selected sales types are displayed in the Sales Type section.
If you no longer offer a sales type, tap on the checkmark to deactivate the sales type.
Standard Sales Type
Here you set a standard sales type for your cash register. As a result, all the settings you need will be displayed in the cash register. Only the sales types you have activated in the Sales Type area can be selected.
- Set a standard sales type for your store by tapping Standard Sales Type.
⮕ The selection menu opens. - Select your standard sales type.
⮕ The selection menu closes immediately after the selection.
Dining Options Area
Take Away
The Take Away area in the This Device overview is only visible if the Take Away dining option has been activated in the General overview.
Activate this option if you offer both Inhouse and Take Away sales at your POS location. If this option is activated, you can use the Reduced Tax (Take Away) setting and sell sales items with 7% VAT. You can find out how to change the dining option of an order here.
Standard
Depending on which default you have set as the dining option under Sales > Sales Settings, the view in your cash register differs.
If you work with a floor plan and place your orders directly on tables, the order type Inhouse is automatically used, regardless of the default settings. You can change the dining option for each sales item or for the entire order as described in this How-To.
- Ask for every new Order: you must select between Inhouse and Take Away in the cash register each time you place a new order. You cannot add sales items to the basket without selecting a dining option.
- Inhouse is the Default: Inhouse is selected for each order. You can manually specify for an order or an individual sales item that it is a Take Away sale.
- Take Away is the Default: Take Away is selected for each order. You can manually select for an order or for an individual sales item that it is an Inhouse sale.
Workflow Area
Start with selection of an Active Order
If this option is activated, enforePOS always displays the last used overview of Active Orders when you open the Register module.
If this option is not enabled, enforePOS will always show the cash register when you open the Register module, so you can immediately create a new order.

- Tap on the order switcher
in the cash register.

Complex Workflow
With the Complex Workflow option you can expand the settings for your Gastro register. This means that when you activate this option, the Gastro section and its options will be displayed.
End Reservation on checkout
When you activate the option End Reservation on checkout, your reservations will end automatically on checkout. This way you don't have to manually check out the reservation after the checkout in the cash register.
Register Configuration Area
Custom discounts may be granted
Check this option if you want to allow custom discounts to be entered in the cash register.
Show Line Item Editor when adding a product
Activate this option if you want to display the editor in the context menu of an ordered sales item. This allows you to enter special requests for an order.
Manage Orders by Tag
Activate this option if you want to manage orders by tags.
You can manage tags directly in your cash register. Tags can be, for example, discount promotions that you assign to an order using the [Tags] button. You can also assign multiple tags.
Merge Build To Order Line Items in Register
When multiple identical Build to Order sales items are ordered, such as multiple main dishes with the same side dishes, they are not only merged in the cash register, but also on the assembly slips, cash register receipts, and invoices.
Receipt Area
A Receipt must be issued
If you activate this function, the Receipt window cannot be closed at the end of the checkout process until the receipt has been issued by SMS, by email or as a printout. If you prefer to issue receipts to your customers via QR code, deactivate this function.
Print Option is preselected
If you activate this function, the Print option is preselected in the Receipt window at the end of the checkout process.
In the example, the print option is preselected and the Receipt window can be closed by tapping [Complete].
Gastro Area
The following settings are only visible if the Complex workflows option in the Workflow area is activated or if the Gastro register type is selected.
Use Seats
Activate this option if you want to assign orders to seats. This way you can manage individual orders per seat and table. You can find detailed information about this in the How-To Place Orders on Tables.
Use Courses
If you have chosen this setting, you can take your orders by courses.
Tap on a course in the cash register to select it.
Once an order is sent to the assembly location, the course is complete and no more orders can be added to that course.
Items/Dishes must be explicitly marked as served
If this option is activated, you must mark each dish or drink as served, otherwise the order cannot be checked out. If you are working with courses, tap after a guest has received their dish. In the following tabs, we will show you the process in the cash register if you have activated this option.
