Take order
Table or counter, dishes, options, and notes. The order starts with a table and remains linked to it.

11 / POS & Cash Register
The order remains one trail. The till closes the service.
From table to ticket to payment. The register is where service is closed out, not a second order.
ALLRECA records the order, keeps table and items together and logs the payment. The cash session and end-of-day closing make the difference between “paid” and “closed” visible.

02 / Four moments
One order, four different actions.
Taking an order is different from tracking it during service, settling it or closing the till. ALLRECA keeps those moments apart without splitting the order.
During service
Courses, preparation status and serving. The floor staff sees what is running; the kitchen and bar receive the rules that belong to their station.
Course · station · status · serving
Pay
Multiple payment methods on one order, with a remaining amount and a payment status. The payment remains linked to the same order.

Close the cash register
Opening, movements, counted amount and difference. The day closing places the totals of the shift side by side.

03 / The screen
The table is the entrance. The bill remains one whole.
Service opens a table, adds lines and keeps the bill together. The POS is touch-oriented: table, lines and payment stay within a few steps. Moving or merging a table does not create a new order; the existing order remains the reference.
The POS is not an administration next to operations. The same order appears in the kitchen, the bar and the reporting. The till adds payment and closing.
See how the order flows through operations04 / The till
Paid is not the same as closed.
The cash session starts with an opening amount. Withdrawals, deposits and other movements are then recorded. At closing, the business counts the cash and explains any discrepancy.
The daily closing belongs to the same service: open tables, payments, refunds and the till session come together. That keeps visible why a day does not add up, instead of only that it does not.
The POS records payment methods. A physical terminal, tax integration or payment provider is a separate setup and not part of this page.

05 / In the chain
The till is not separate from the rest.
Orders
The same order that the kitchen and bar receive is in the POS. Channel and table remain recognizable.
To OrdersPayments
Payment status, balance and refunds stay with the order. The till is where the payment is registered.
To PaymentsReporting
Revenue and payments come from the same service. The reporting makes the closing verifiable.
To Reporting06 / Where it fits
For businesses where the service ends at the table or counter.
Restaurant with table service
Service opens a table, takes the order and settles the payment without losing the table or the bill.
Café or bar with a counter
Counter orders follow the same order flow. The bar sees only the drink lines; the till closes the service.
Business with cash sessions per shift
An opening, movements and a counted amount per session. The difference is explained before the day is closed.
07 / Floor service
Order where the guest sits.
The floor's service view shows per table what is running: open orders, payments and the status of the bill. The server does not have to shuttle between the till and the receipts.
An order taken at the table comes straight into the same overview as the online orders. The payment status stays visible per table until the bill is closed.

08 / The boundary
What this is and is not.
This page describes the POS, table service, payment recording, till session and daily closing as they exist in the restaurant environment.
- However: record orders, serve tables, register payments and close a cash session.
- Not: a fiscal cash register system, a physical payment terminal or a guarantee that every payment provider is handled automatically.
- Not: a second accounting. The POS records the operational payment; the financial administration stands alongside it.
