The name at the top of the start menu is the name of the user who started that instance of POS. The user who started that instance of POS permissions determine what functions are available in that instance of POS. Pictured here is the Owner level start menu, Managers, Inside, or Driver start menus have fewer tools.
The Current location: lists the franchise ID and city of the user's native store when POS starts. [Some users have access to more than one location.] Also, there if the store has Online Stats Off there is a message displayed in the taskbar. This is a SESSION variable is only active when a user signs into POS. The message will be there until Online is On and the user signs in again.
Below that is the list of menus.
Refund an order Tap for details. Only appears when POS is started by an Owner level user.
This is the list of current orders for all stores where the user who signed into POS has User Store Access. New orders are at the top. They are grouped by order status, Ready, Out, Closed, Canceled, and Refund. Tap the up or down arrow next to the column name to sort the orders by that column.
There is a “Phone number filter” if you enter the phone number of the customer with “-” as 999-999-9999 and it will display orders placed with that number. Although, it is amazing how many customers have no idea of the phone number that was used to place their order.
There is an “Order number filter.” This must be done very quickly to click on the order when it is displayed.
To use the other buttons at the top of the screen. You must select/highlight an order on the list before any button will work.
The “Update Status” button is used to move the order from Ready status to Closed status. It will only be available for orders in Ready status that are fully paid.
The “Edit” button will open the order for editing. Do not use this button to merely payout an order. After editing an order, you must place the order and that reprints the tickets. If there is no change in the order that extra ticket can be confusing at the make table.
The “Cancel” button cancels the order and voids any credit card authorization. Identification is required.
The “Void Delivery” button is for a delivery that was Checked Out by the wrong driver. It merely returns the order to ready status.
The “Map” button displays a map of the selected delivery.

A team member can only clock in within 5 minutes of his start time as scheduled without a manager override.
Schedules determine what the user role is for that person in that clock-in session.
Scheduled hours can be copied from one week to the next. They can be printed. And the schedule is visible to all OIC users at your store. Go to OIC> Users> Schedule. Each friend has a login. No more excuses of “I didn’t see my schedule.” They got a phone; they got their schedule.
Click on Start> Users> Schedule or click the Schedule Management desktop icon to open the scheduling tool. Click on the plus sign next to Users on the left to extend the list of users that can be scheduled at the store that is signed in.
To schedule a User click on the User name and drag it to the date/day of week on which the User will be scheduled. A window opens for configuration.
Assigned Role - This can be Owner, Manager, Driver, or Inside. The role chosen determines the hourly rate for that shift.
Time In - The shift start time. Friends cannot clock in more than 5 minutes before the start time without a Manger Override
Time Out - The scheduled time off.
On call - There are times when you may wish to schedule a friend to be On Call. They would merely need to be near a phone during the scheduled hours.
Duplicate these hours to other days of the week? - To speed up scheduling, select this option to populate those shift hours to other days of the week.
When done it will be a color-coded weekly schedule. Dark Grey = Owner, Green = Manager, Blue = Inside, Brown = Driver. The length of the bar stretches from Time In to Time Out.
Create as many weeks as desired into the future. It opens to the upcoming week. View other weeks by clicking on the Previous Week arrow on the top left or the Next Week arrow on the top right.

Below Copy Schedule is the Print Schedule button. This is no longer needed because the schedules are available to everyone in the OIC. No more, “I didn't see the schedule” excuses. Click the plus sign to view the 2 possible schedule outputs. Generate a PDF includes a column on the right for the total hours each person is scheduled for in that week. The PDF no totals does not have the Totals column.
You can correct clocking-in errors in Timecard Management. There’s an icon on the desktop for owners and managers or you can go to Start> Users> Timecards. These are only visible to Managers and Owners. You must have owner permission to edit timecards. Managers do not see pay rates.
Timecards cannot be deleted. Any edits to timecards are recorded. The same start and end time can be entered to zero out the shift.
On the left you set the Start Date and End date for the week. Use only one week. The overtime calculation is not correct for periods over one week. If you are running the Payroll Report for more than one week, use Payroll Report [Spreadsheet] in the Report Wizard. Clicking the Open PDF button opens the PDF in a new browser tab. Clicking email sends the report to the email address of the user who is signed into POS and has his name at the top of the start menu.

Then click “Save Changes.” Edited timecards appear in italics.
If you are in Timecard Management and you have not “Saved Changes” just click “Discard Changes” and close Timecard Management. When you reopen Timecard Management the timecard will not be there.

Often needed purchases are made in cash from the cash drawer. Some vendors require cash payment. There are times when currency is added to the Cash Drawer, for refills or when items are sold in cash that are not a customer order. Whenever you make or get a deposit for past orders like Account payments or TOOS deposits they should be entered here. Entering the extra deposits here shows them on the Closeout Report and shows them in the Sales Summar 2025 (Accountant).
Only a person with Owner permissions can add categories to the Expenses/Income. You should have some categories for food, supplies and any other categories for expenses to be classified as desired.
Do not assign an Expense to a user. That is only for drivers that pay for the Payout out of their delivery bag. That way the money spent will be included in that driver’s Driver Checkout Report reconciliation.
Go to Start> Spend/Receive> Expenses/Income.
Use Select Date to go to a different date to review those payouts. Also, if you make a payout after midnight but before you close edit the date to the prior day.
There are certain functions that require a Manager Override as a security measure. Some specials codes, altering a price, and allowing someone to clock in when they are not scheduled are a few of them.
This menu item is only visible when a Manager or Owner level user is the person who originally signed into POS. That person's name appears at the top of the Start Menu.
Clicking on Manager Override opens a window for a finger scan. A manager or owner's finger will open another window to pick the Override Type.
Once the Manager Override is configured it can then be used as needed to allow an unscheduled person to clock in, apply a Manager Discount code or any other need.
Opens fingerprint identification window for the person whose fingerprint is entered to Clock In.
For users with access to more than one location a window opens with the stores available to that user. This needs to be set for some of the reports to be correctly compiled. This changes the location listed at the bottom left in the POS taskbar.
When taking an order, the customer's delivery address will automatically connect the order to the correct location. If it is a pickup the POS user will need to select the correct store from the list presented.
A user who signs in with Owner or Manager level access, may wish to leave the computer signed into POS but not have the Manager/Owner options available. Click on Modify Session Roles and then select the level desired.
Inside level access prevents call-in orders from being paid for. This is a security measure to prevent call-in orders from being paid in cash. If a call-in customer wants to pay for a pickup while that instance of POS has only Inside level access, the order must be taken and then select the order in Current Orders and click the payment option.
