What are the different restaurant modes available in Eats365?
Eats365 offers two basic modes for the Eats365 POS and its Modules, which include Full Service and Quick Serve modes. We also have special restaurant modes for Virtual Shop, Cloud Kitchen, and Food Court operations. For more information about restaurant modes, refer to Restaurant service modes.
DeleteCan I switch to a different restaurant mode?

Octopus payments may show an inaccurate amount if you’ve used an Octopus terminal that is not integrated with the Eats365 POS. When this happens, the staff will need to manually process the payment on the POS and then input the amount on the Octopus terminal which is susceptible to human error.
The Octopus device may also show an inaccurate amount if there is a scheduled uploading of transactions. In this case, any transactions made on the Octopus after the uploading time will be treated as transactions made on the next day.
