Restaurant Toolbox
One full-screen workspace for the counter: menu, tickets, tables, kitchen and orders.
What it is
Restaurant Toolbox is a restaurant terminal that opens in its own full-screen workspace, separate from the shop till. The counter gets everything on one screen: the menu, the ticket being built, the tables, the kitchen board and the list of orders.
The menu comes from your Tajir Point products, laid out as a grid with deals, sizes, add-ons and extras. A dine-in table keeps one ticket open across several rounds, so the second round of drinks joins the same bill instead of starting a new one.
The kitchen board shows every order with a prep timer and flags the ones running late. When the guest pays, the ticket is settled as a normal Tajir Point sale, so stock, khata and your reports stay exactly as they are everywhere else.
Who it's for
- Fast food, pizza and burger outlets with a busy counter
- Cafes and family restaurants that run table tabs
- Restaurants that take bookings and want them next to the tables
- Owners who want a simple restaurant screen without setting up a full kitchen system
Problems it solves
“A second round of drinks ends up on a separate bill.”
Each table keeps one open ticket. New rounds are added to it and sent to the kitchen, and the guest pays once at the end.
“Staff jump between screens to take an order, check a table and see the kitchen.”
Menu, ticket, tables, kitchen board and orders all live in one full-screen workspace.
“Nobody notices an order has been waiting too long.”
Every ticket on the kitchen board has a prep timer, and late orders move to their own Delayed column.
“We do not know which tables are free, booked or still dirty.”
The table board shows each table as free, reserved, occupied, needs cleaning or out of service.
Key features
Full-screen restaurant terminal
Its own workspace for the counter, separate from the shop till, with the menu, the current ticket and recent orders side by side.
Menu grid with deals and add-ons
Dishes from your products, with sizes, add-ons, extras and deal choices priced from your menu. Show veg or non-veg and tags like Must Try or Best Value.
Kitchen notes on every item
Add a note to any item, such as no onions or extra spicy, and it prints on the kitchen ticket.
Table board with open tabs
Floors and tables with their status. Seat a party, add rounds to its open ticket, and the table is marked for cleaning after the bill is settled.
Kitchen board with timers
Orders in New, Kitchen, Delayed and Done columns, each with a prep timer and a mark-ready button.
Every order type
Dine-in, take-away, delivery and table orders from the same screen.
Reservations with seat-now
Take bookings with the guest's name, phone and party size. When they arrive, seat them at a table in one tap, or mark them as a no-show.
Settles as a normal sale
Take one or more payments, or leave a balance on the customer's khata if the cashier is allowed to. Stock, khata and reports update as for any other sale.

The kitchen works from the kitchen board and printed tickets, and marks orders ready.

What you need

Pricing & setup
FreeIncluded with the free Light plan
You switch it on yourself from the Add-ons page; it takes a minute.
Restaurant Toolbox is included with the Light plan.
It does not need the Restaurant add-on, but you can use both.
Uninstalling only hides the terminal. Your tickets and tables come back if you switch it on again.

Questions about Restaurant Toolbox
Do I need to build a separate menu for the terminal?
No. The menu grid uses your Tajir Point products. You only add restaurant extras like sizes, add-ons, deals and prep time.
Can a table order more than once on the same bill?
Yes. A table keeps one ticket open across rounds. Each new round goes to the kitchen and joins the same bill.
Do kitchen tickets show prices?
No. Kitchen tickets show only dishes, options and notes. The guest's bill is printed in the same style as your other receipts.
Does it update my stock and khata?
Yes. Settling a ticket creates a normal sale, so stock, khata and your reports work exactly as they do at the till.
What is the difference between Restaurant Toolbox and the Restaurant add-on?
Restaurant Toolbox is an all-in-one restaurant terminal in its own screen. The Restaurant add-on adds tables, the kitchen display and kitchen printing to Tajir Point itself. Both are included with Light.
Can I take bookings?
Yes. Record a booking with the guest's details and party size, and seat them at a table when they arrive.
Is it included in the free Light plan?
Yes. Restaurant Toolbox is one of the add-ons included with Light.
