How to Use the "Number of Pax" Feature in Vendtill POS System

The Vendtill POS system has an important feature called "Number of Pax," which allows businesses to assign a maximum number of persons (pax) to a service area or table. This feature helps business owners track customer visits and service efficiency. Follow this guide to enable and set up the "Number of Pax" feature. 

 

Practical Example: 

For example, if a waiter assigns a table for four guests, the KOT will display the pax count as "4." This allows the kitchen and service staff to prepare the exact number of plates, glasses, spoons, forks, and knives required for the table (cutlery), ensuring a seamless dining experience. This feature reduces the chance of errors, speeds up service, and helps the restaurant operate more efficiently.
