When a customer who left a deposit pays their bill, you use the deposit to pay all of it or a part. A deposit never gives change: what is left stays on it for next time.

The Deposit window

Use a deposit: find it on the left, use it on the right.
  1. Use a deposit: the tab the window opens on.
  2. Search: the customer's name or phone, the deposit's code, or scan the slip's QR.
  3. The deposits offered: the deposit of this order, of this booking or of this customer, shown before you search. Tap one.
  4. The deposit: what is left on it, and until when it is valid.
  5. Amount to use: what is left on the deposit, or the bill, whichever is less. You may lower it.
  6. Use RM 50.00: pays that much of the bill from the deposit.
