How to Use Open Orders Function
The Open Orders feature in Vendtill POS allows users to put a receipt on hold when a customer wants to add more items later. This ensures the cashier can continue serving other customers while keeping the held receipt editable until the customer completes the transaction.
This feature is especially useful for dynamic ordering environments like supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes.
