What this page is for
This page creates a new till — a selling position such as a checkout lane or a bar counter — in a store, or changes an existing till's name and default order type. A till's store and code can never change once it exists, because its Z reports already carry them.
An existing till's page also lists its till switches — such as asking for a table number — with what each one is set to and where that answer comes from: Set here on the till itself, From Store, From Branch or From Business, or Default. Someone whose role can manage settings can set each one On for this till or Off for this till, or choose Use the store's setting to remove the till's own answer — see Tills.
Only people whose role can manage the business's structure can add or change a till. Anyone who can see the structure can open a till's page to read it.
Before you start
- The store must already exist and be a Main or Sales store — see New store. A kitchen or storage store cannot hold a till.
Fields
Store
Which store the till sits in. Required, and fixed once the till exists. Only active Main and Sales stores are offered.
Example: Westlands · Main
Code
The till's own short code, up to sixteen letters, digits, hyphens or underscores, unique across
the business. Leave it empty and the business gives it the next one in its series, such as
TILL-0001. It numbers the till's Z reports, so it never changes once the till exists. Only
shown when creating a till.
Example: WL-LANE1
Name
What the till is called. Must be unique within its store, including deactivated tills.
Example: Lane 1
Default order type
The order type this till assumes for a new order. A new till copies its store's; change it here afterwards. Only shown when changing a till.
- Dine in
- Takeaway
- Delivery
- Counter
Example: Counter for a shop lane.

If something goes wrong
- A till can only sit in a main or sales store. Choose a store that sells. — choose a Main or Sales store.
- That branch is deactivated, so nothing can be created or reactivated under it. — the store's branch has been closed; choose a store in an active branch.
