Change the quantity
Change how many of a dish are on the bill, with − and + in the line's window or by typing the number on the quantity pad, on the Windows and the Android POS. The pad part by part, 0 voids the line, less of a dish the kitchen has, more of a dish, and every message.

Two ways change how many of a dish are on the bill:
- − and +, in the line's window: one at a time. Good for 2 to 3.
- The quantity pad: tap the quantity square at the left of the line, and type the number. Good for 12 plates of satay: one tap, two keys and OK.
Both change the bill the same way. Less of a dish the kitchen already has is a void of that part: see Less of a dish the kitchen has.
With − and +
- Tap the line on the bill. Its window opens beside it. See A bill line's window.
- Press + for one more, − for one less. The number between them, and the line on the bill, change at once.
- Close the window (✕, or tap on the menu side) when you are done.
With the quantity pad
- Tap the quantity square at the left of the line (the big number). The quantity pad opens.
- Type the new quantity, for example 12.
- Press OK. The line has 12, and the pad closes.
- The dish's name: the line the pad is for.
- Now 2. Type how many. Nought voids it.: the quantity the line has now. For a dish sold by weight: Now 0.45. Type the weight. Nought voids it.
- The entry: what you type, in large figures. Before you type, it shows the present quantity in grey.
- ±: makes the number below 0, for a return (a dish given back). See Return dishes. For a dish sold by weight, the keys have a decimal point in this place, and ± has a row of its own under them.
- ⌫: rubs out the last digit.
- Cancel: closes the pad. Nothing changes.
- OK: sets the line to what you typed. Grey until you type something.
The PC's keyboard types on the pad while it is open: the digits, . for a dish sold by weight, - for ±, Backspace (rub out), Delete (empty the entry), Enter (OK) and Esc (empty the entry, then close the pad).
A dish not sold by weight takes whole numbers only. A dish sold by weight takes a weight to three decimal places, such as 0.455. See Dishes sold by weight.
What each number does
| You type | What happens |
|---|---|
| A bigger number | The line goes up. What is added is not sent until the next Save & Fire. |
| A smaller number, of a dish not sent yet | The line goes down. Nothing is asked. |
| A smaller number, of a dish the kitchen has | A void of what comes off. With −, it asks for a reason. See Less of a dish the kitchen has. |
| 0 | The line is voided, as the Void button does: see Void a dish. |
| Below 0, with ± | The line becomes a return. |
| The same number | Nothing changes. |
When the bill shows several lines of a dish as one row (Always merge), the new quantity is for the whole row.
Less of a dish the kitchen has
The kitchen already cooks what was sent, so taking some off is a void of that part. The kitchen is told at the next Save & Fire: until then the line shows −10 to delete in red.
With −, in the line's window:
- Press − as many times as needed. The line shows the new number at once.
- Close the line's window (✕, or tap on the menu side).
- The Void this item window opens once, for all the taps, with how many come off (10 x Satay Ayam) and their value. Choose a Reason, and add a note under What happened? if you like.
- If you may not void a dish yourself, a manager types their PIN in the window (and, if they like, their staff code).
- Press Void this item.
Press Keep it instead to change nothing: the line goes back to what it was. See Void a dish.
On the quantity pad, a smaller number of a dish the kitchen has is taken at once, with no reason asked. Only somebody who may void a dish can do this: anybody else is told This item has gone to the kitchen, and taking it off needs pos.order.void. Ask a manager. Use − instead, where a manager can approve it.
On Android
- Type how many. ± makes it a return.: the line under the name. For a dish sold by weight: Weighed: type the weight, up to three decimal places.
- ±: a row of its own under the keys, beside Clear.
- Clear: empties the entry.
- The decimal point is on every pad, greyed for a dish not sold by weight.
- Tap the number between − and + in the line's window to open the pad, as well as the square on the line.
- A tap outside the pad closes it, changing nothing.
- A keyboard plugged into the tablet types on the pad as on Windows.
