Hospitality

The module serves restaurants, bars, cafés and hotels. POS Main is the main register of the venue: it keeps bills on tables, sends items to the kitchen and bar, and settles payments. POS Kelner works at the table on the same bills, and the kitchen display (KDS) shows tickets in preparation order. A hotel guest's bill can be charged to the room. Menu, floor plan, staff, devices and reports are set up in the Panel.

1.Sales

1.1Selling without internet

POS Main and POS Kelner record sales locally when the internet is down and send the data to the cloud automatically once the connection returns. The receipt is issued by the locally connected fiscal device, so a cloud error does not stop sales. The sending status is shown in the bar at the top of the screen and in the register settings.

  1. Keep selling as usual when the register shows “No internet. You're working locally, we'll send the data automatically.”
  2. To check the status, open “Settings” → “Settings” → “This device” → “Data synchronisation” and read “Data to send”.
  3. Once the connection returns, check for the “Synced” message.
Notes
  • A receipt without internet requires XKasa or a Posnet printer to be set up.
  • Cash and card without a terminal work offline. Payments that need a connection are paused until it returns.
  • Splitting a bill requires a network connection.
Path
POS Main → Settings (Back office) → Settings → This device → Data synchronisation

1.2Quick sale

Quick sale is used for counter service without selecting a table. An unfinished sale is automatically parked as a numbered bill, so items are not lost when switching to another screen. The function works on POS Main and POS Kelner.

  2. Add items to the cart.
  3. Select “Pay” and take the payment.

1.4Packaging and deposits

The take-away packaging register and the deposit schemes apply across the whole account.

1.5Returns and complaints

The register refunds a whole sale or part of it with a reason and refund method. A card payment made on an Adyen terminal is refunded to the customer's card. The refund creates a correction document, appears in the refund register, reports and the shift close, and the goods return to stock.

The customer-facing display shows the bill items, the amount due, the tip choice and a thank-you after payment. When there is no bill, it shows the material set in the Panel, such as a video or an image. The display can be built into the register or be a separate tablet or terminal assigned to the register.

  1. On the register, open “Settings” → “Settings” → “Printers and devices” → “Customer display”.
  2. Turn on “Built-in customer display”, or select “Connect guest display” to use a separate device.
  3. In the Panel, open “Settings” → “Sales and payments” → “Customer display” and select “Connect a display”.
  4. In the “Material when there is no bill” section, upload a video or an image.
Notes
  • Material can be set only after a display is connected.
  • If the display does not respond, check that the device is on and in the same network.

19.6Register and waiters on the local network

POS Main acts as the branch coordinator on the venue's Wi-Fi network. POS Kelner and KDS connect to it directly, so tables and bills stay shared even without internet. The operating mode is set automatically.

  1. Connect POS Main, the POS Kelner phones and the KDS screens to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. On POS Main, open “Settings” → “Settings” → “Printers and devices” → “Local network”.
  3. Check the “Operating mode” and the “Connected devices” list.
  4. If a device cannot find POS Main, enter the “POS Main IP address” and select “Save”.
Notes
  • A branch must have exactly one POS Main register. With two, the register asks you to choose one in the Panel.
  • An empty IP address field means automatic search.

Path
Panel → Settings → Company and venues → Branches

20.3Logo and look for guests

  1. Open “Settings” → “Company and venues” → “Brand”.
  2. In the “Shared brand” section, upload the “Logo” and “Background”, then crop the image.

20.4Plan and billing

This screen shows the current Sincliq plan, the trial period, limits, add-ons and the documents due for payment with their due dates. Payment is made by card or by bank transfer based on a pro forma invoice. After the due date, POS Main and POS Kelner can pause new sales, while open bills, the shift and the end of day report keep working.

  1. Open “Settings” → “Plan and billing”.
  2. Review the plan and the “Limits” and “Add-ons” sections.
  3. In the document table, select “Pay” next to the amount due.

20.6Notifications

A list of switches defines which events the system sends messages about: the day summary after the shift closes, low stock levels, KSeF sending errors, and shift opening and closing. All notifications are on by default.

  1. Open “Settings” → “Messages” → “Notifications”.
  2. Check or clear “Day summary”, “Low stock levels”, “KSeF sending errors” and “Shift open / close”.

  • “KSeF sending errors” is shown only for accounts in Poland.
  • The selection is stored in the browser in which it was changed.
Path
Panel → Settings → Messages → Notifications

20.7Venue areas: Restaurant, Hotel, Services

The Restaurant, Hotel and Services areas are enabled separately and each works independently, with its own screens in the Panel. A restaurant and a hotel at one address form one branch: a table bill can go to the stay folio, and a service can be charged to the stay.

  1. Open “Settings” → “HORECA module” → “Areas: Restaurant, Hotel, Services”.
  2. Turn on the switches for the areas that operate at the venue.
  3. When turning on Hotel, choose the branch that runs the hotel.

20.8Tidy settings

Planned Q4 2026

Each settings topic will have one place in the Panel, with a short description at the top of the group and a one-sentence effect under each switch. Dependencies between settings will be stated directly, and POS Main and POS Kelner will use the same group names.

Notes
  • This function is in development and will be available this quarter.
