Start a takeaway order in SeroPOS

Tap Take Away on the Home screen to open the POS with a Walk-In Customer and start adding items.

Frequently asked questions

How do I put a takeaway order on a customer's name?

Search for the customer on Home before you tap Take Away, or tap the customer area at the top of the cart and enter a name in Customer Information. A named order is easy to find later in Held Sales or Recent Transactions.

Can I change a takeaway order to dine-in?

Start dine-in orders from the Dine-in button so the order is linked to a table. If you rang it as takeaway by mistake, hold it, clear the screen and start again from Dine-in, or adjust it before payment.
