Home Screen & Slots
The POS home screen shows all active order slots — dine-in tables, takeaways, and deliveries at a glance.
When a cashier logs in, the first screen they see is the Home screen — a live grid of all active order slots. Each slot represents an in-progress or available table, takeaway, or delivery position.
What is a slot?
A slot is a position that holds an in-progress order. Think of it like a table number or a counter position. Each slot has a status:
| Slot status | What it means | Visual |
|---|---|---|
| Available | Empty — ready for a new order | Shown as an empty card with a "+" icon |
| Processing | Has an active order in progress | Shows order type, item count, and elapsed time |
| Completed | Order paid and closed | Faded — ready to be cleared |

Navigation modes
The Cashier POS uses state-based navigation (not URL navigation) — this makes it behave like a native app. There is no browser back button or refresh to worry about. Tapping Home always returns you to the slot grid.
