Quick Start for Cashiers
This article covers what a cashier does on a typical service. Tasks are grouped by when they happen.
Before Service
Open the POS app on your terminal or in a browser tab. The app should already be paired to a terminal. If a registration screen appears, contact the manager or IT lead.
Select the meal program you are serving (Breakfast, Lunch, etc.).
If prompted, enter your PIN to start the session.
If your terminal is a touchscreen or Chromebook with no physical keyboard, an on-screen keyboard appears automatically when you tap a text field. See Using the On-Screen Keyboard.
During Service
When a student scans their ID or enters their PIN, the transaction opens. For students without an ID, tap the + button to search the roster.
Tap menu options to add them to the order. Tap again to remove.
Acknowledge allergen warnings if they appear before continuing.
Complete the transaction to charge the student's account or record the payment.
After Service
Open the hamburger menu (☰) in the session toolbar and select End Session.
Review the session totals and any flagged transactions.
Enter session notes if required, then confirm End Session.
