Main Menu

The Main Menu in the Posbel app provides quick access to additional tools and utilities. It can be accessed by tapping the Menu button located in the top-right corner of the Home Screen.

Role-Based Access

Menu options vary depending on the type of user currently logged in:

  • Admin Users have full access to administrative and configuration features
  • Server/Waiter Users see only the options relevant to their day-to-day role

Worker Shift
Opens the worker shift page for starting, stopping, or reviewing the user’s own shift.

Create/Edit your table plan
Opens the editor where the dining room is drawn, table by table and zone by zone — see Table Plan. It appears only on a register signed in with an administrator PIN.

Print shift history
Allows browsing and printing of historical Z and X reports: - Print Z Reports for completed booking dates - Print X Reports for the currently running shift

Warning

This option is available only to Admin users.

Shop Shift
Used to start or stop establishment shifts (booking periods), including confirming whether the closing shift is the final one of the day.

Search Accounts
Looks up accounts beyond the current shift — the way to find a receipt from an earlier service, by account number or by the details the customer can give you.

Note

Search Accounts is shown to administrator accounts, and to other users granted the Account search ability in the Posbel Admin panel.

Print product barcodes
Opens the barcode label screen, for printing scannable labels on a connected label printer. See Printing Product Barcodes.

User settings
Shows what the device is signed in as, tests printing, and holds the per-tablet display options. See User Settings.

Log out
At the top of the menu a profile card shows who the tablet is signed in as — the user's initial and name, with the establishment and Org number beneath it — and carries Log out, Log out the current user.

To log back in, users enter their Organization ID, Username and Password — or, where the account is still saved on the tablet, tap Auto Login. See Logging Back In Without Typing Credentials.

Close app
Beside the profile card, a power button closes the Posbel app outright rather than only ending the session. Use it before handing the tablet over, or when an update needs the app fully stopped.

Note

Logging out fully resets the session and device state, requiring full credential re-authentication.

Summary

The Main Menu acts as the gateway to both operational tools and administrative controls.
It is context-aware and tailored to the permissions of the current user.

Tip

Encourage staff to lock the screen rather than log out, unless switching devices or users entirely — logging out ends the device session and requires a full login with credentials.
