Set the maximum number of guests per order

I. Purpose

Allow the restaurant to set a maximum guest count per order, ensuring staff never record more guests than the restaurant can serve at one time.

II. Instruction steps

1. Define the limit on the dashboard

1. On the dashboard, go to Settings → Sales.
2. In the Sales tab, scroll to Orders → click the Edit icon.
3. Enter the desired limit in Maximum of guests on each order.
   • Default: 20 guests.
   • Maximum allowed: 50 guests.
   • If you type a value > 50, the system shows “The number can’t exceed 50. Please check again.”
4. Click Save.

2. Enable guest-count entry on the POS

1. POS main screen → Settings.
2. Select General settings.
3. Untick Skip entering the number of guests when selecting a table.

3. How it works at the POS

• When a cashier opens a new order, the Guest count field accepts any value up to the limit set on the dashboard.
• If the cashier enters a number greater than the defined limit, the POS displays a warning and blocks the entry.
• If a table’s seat count exceeds the limit, the Guest count defaults to the maximum allowed when that table is selected.

Have a nice day!
