Start with the menu you will actually sell
Prepare item names, categories, current base prices, supported modifiers and availability. Review a short list of items with the kitchen and counter team. If importing a file, inspect the proposed changes before applying them, and keep a copy of the original menu for comparison.
Check the table QR destination
Open each table QR on a phone and confirm the restaurant and table number. Test the cart, kitchen instructions and guest tracking. Keep the correct QR identity when creating print artwork; changing the card design should not change where a guest lands.
Test kitchen tickets and bills separately
Use the supported printer setup and save the correct roll size. A KOT is a preparation document; a customer bill needs the configured business details, totals and payment context. Test a long item name and multiple quantities, then check that the output is readable on the actual printer.
Agree on payment and service ownership
Choose who accepts orders, marks preparation stages, serves and confirms payment. Test cash and supported digital-payment recording with your team. Review unpaid bills separately from completed kitchen work so that service completion does not become an accidental collection confirmation.
Rehearse one exception before opening
Try an unavailable item, a corrected order and a delayed hand-off. Verify the guest and merchant screens reflect the supported workflow. Keep an escalation contact for the shift. Use the first day to review what your team needs, then adjust permissions and routines through the available settings.
