Gastro Checkout Workflow in enforePOS

In restaurants, there are different workflows depending on the business. In enforePOS, you can customize your checkout workflow by defining the settings that best suit your daily business activities. For example, you can choose to work with or without Order Tracking or use the Order Management (kitchen monitor) when preparing dishes and, in this way, display your processes in enforePOS.

In this How-To, we show four examples to outline the optimal checkout workflow for your restaurant.
