Collect payment for takeout orders (quick service)

When placing a takeout order using the Go Restaurant app on your tablet, you can collect payment by tapping Pay.  Customers can use the connected payment terminal to enter a payment card and leave a tip. Customers can also pay by cash. 

Note: The terminal must be connected as a peripheral to the tablet app in order to use card payments (debit, credit, gift). If the terminal is not connected, you can still take cash payments. 

Note:  In order to collect taxes as part of the customer payment, you must set up a tax profile

Follow these steps to collect payment for takeout orders.

  2. Each method of payment provides 3 receipt options for itemized receipts: No receipt, Print, and Email/SMS. Ask the customer if they would like an itemized receipt, then tap the appropriate receipt option.   

In addition to the itemized receipt, customers who pay by credit, debit, or gift card on the terminal can choose to get a printed receipt or electronic receipt from the terminal for the total amount paid. The credit/debit/gift card receipt is not itemized.
