How do I split a bill between multiple people at a restaurant table?

In Pludor POS, tap Split Check and enter how many ways - the check is split evenly into any number of parts. Then charge each person separately by card, cash or Pludor wallet. If you're on another system, look for a split-by-guest or split-evenly option in your POS checkout screen.

What's the easiest way to add a tip when taking a card payment?

In Pludor POS, tap a tip preset of 10%, 15% or 20%, or enter a custom amount, before taking payment. The tip is added to the check automatically. Most modern POS systems offer similar preset buttons on the payment screen.

How can I track tips per server or bartender?

Give each staff member their own POS PIN so every sale is attributed to who rang it up. In Pludor, open Hours, Wages & Tips in Team Staff to see hours, wages and tips per person, and use Pay Out to record tip payouts. Staff clock in on the POS at the start of each shift.

Everything runs on one catalog and one order list alongside your online store.

Does splitting checks cost extra on a POS?

On Pludor, no - Split Check, Tips & Order Types is on for every store, including the Free plan.

Can customers order from the table themselves instead of waiting for a server?

How do I take payment by phone for a pickup order?
