Chapter 4 — Managing baskets

In this chapter: working with several baskets at once, parking a basket, quotes, splitting the bill, and a few other basket actions.

4-1. The open baskets bar (Warenkörbe)

Beside the sales screen, a vertical bar shows all your open baskets:

  • Each basket shows the number of items and its creation time.
  • Create a new basket with the + button — the current basket stays exactly as it is.
  • Tap any basket to switch between them; for example, when a customer goes off to find something else in the middle of paying, open a new basket for the next person.
  • A colour indicator on each basket shows its save status: only on this device / saved / synced with the server. (This matters for offline mode — Chapter 10.)

4-2. Saving and parking a basket

  • Save (Speichern): saves the basket to the server so it can be seen from other devices too.
  • Park/hold (pausieren): sets the basket aside so you can continue later — for example, the customer says "I'll be right back". A parked basket stays in the baskets bar and you can reopen it whenever you like.

4-3. Quote / price offer (Offer)

For a customer who hasn't yet committed to the purchase:

  1. Build the basket like a normal sale.
  2. Tap the "Create offer" (Offer) button.
  3. Choose the output: PDF (to print or save) or send by email to the customer.

A quote doesn't count as a sale and doesn't reduce stock; you can later turn it into a real sale.

💡 With the Print (Drucken) button you can also see a preview of the current basket's receipt and print it, without recording a sale.

4-4. Splitting the bill (Teilen)

For when several people want to pay separately (especially in a restaurant):

  1. Tap the Split (Teilen) button.
  2. Choose one of the two modes:
  • Split equally: the total amount is divided equally between several people.
  • Split person by person: you choose which items go into whose basket.
  1. Each part has its own separate basket/payment and is settled separately.

4-5. Other basket actions

  • Online order platform (Plattform): if the order came from an external platform (for example a food delivery service), record that platform on the basket so the prices and reports are correct.
  • Staff order (Personal): record internal consumption / staff orders with this option so it stays separate from normal sales.
  • Sending to the kitchen (Küche) and resending order tickets — explained in the restaurant chapter → Chapter 5.
