Void a line, void a tab, and the reason

server · bartender · manager for anything already madeWhere: The ✕ on a line · Void tab in the quiet row

A void is not a delete. It is a record that something was rung and then taken off, with why.

A LINE THAT IS STILL NEW

Tap its ✕. It is gone in one tap. Nothing was made, so nothing is asked.

A LINE THE KITCHEN HAS

  1. 1Tap its ✕. The sheet says Void Steak Frites? and The kitchen already has this one — say why it's coming off.
  2. 2Pick a reason chip under WHY. The reasons are the venue's own list, set on the dashboard.
  3. 3Add a note if it helps whoever reads the exception report, then Yes, void. Keep it backs out.

THE WHOLE TAB

Void tab is in the quiet row, but only while nothing has been paid. It clears the table without charging. Anything already sent to the kitchen stays made.

a tab that has taken money cannot be voided

Refund the payment first, or settle the rest. Money that has moved is never erased by a void.
