A guide for businesses that need the cashier or server to classify the sale by service type before or during checkout.

Inventory & POS Restaurant and Service POS End-User Guide

Overview

Types of service help the business separate how orders are handled, prepared, delivered, or reported.

Where To Find It

Path: POS > Cash Sale > Type of Service

Use the type-of-service selection when your POS process requires the sale to be tagged to a service mode or operational type.

How It Works

QBM can present a type-of-service choice during the POS flow so the sale follows the correct operating path and reporting logic.

Main Areas

Area What It Means When To Use It
Service type selection Classifies the order into a defined service mode. Use it when the business treats different order styles differently.
Operational effect Supports the downstream handling of the sale, such as preparation or reporting. Use it whenever the service classification matters operationally.
Cashier flow Lets the user continue the sale after the correct type has been chosen. Use it as part of the normal order-entry sequence.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Start the POS sale or order.
  2. Choose the service type that matches the customer request or operational mode.
  3. Continue the sale and make sure the selected type still fits if the order changes.
  4. Complete payment and receipt steps as normal.

Best Practice

  • Keep service types simple enough for staff to choose confidently.
  • Train staff on when a type-of-service change is allowed after the order has started.
  • Use consistent naming that matches your kitchen, counter, or delivery language.
