Overview
The PosBel Android Application is the primary tool used by employees and on-site staff to manage real-time operations at the establishment.
Unlike the Admin Panel, which is dedicated to back-office tasks such as configuration, reporting, and user management, the Android application focuses entirely on live operations within the venue.
Purpose
The Android POS App is designed for:
- Sending orders to kitchen and bar printers
- Handling customer payments at the point of sale
- Managing in-house service: tables, takeaway, and delivery
- Issuing invoices or tickets (where applicable)
- Starting and ending employee (worker) shifts
- Initiating and closing establishment booking periods (shifts)
Screen Orientation
The application works in landscape and in portrait. Portrait is intended for narrow counter-mounted tablets and handheld use, where a landscape layout would waste the screen.
The same features are available in both orientations; what changes is how the screen is arranged:
| Screen | In portrait |
|---|---|
| Ordering | The account action chips move above the product groups as a grid that collapses when you need the space. |
| Shift management | The screen is stacked vertically and the numeric keypad opens in a bottom sheet when you enter an amount. |
| Client data | The fields are stacked, and the account chips stretch to the full width. |
| Order details | The digital VAT ticket QR code opens in a bottom sheet from the header, instead of sitting permanently beside the order. |
Tip
Choose the orientation that matches how the device is mounted, and leave it there. Staff build muscle memory for where the buttons are, and switching orientation mid-service costs more time than the layout saves.
Difference from the Admin Panel
| Functionality | POS Android App | Admin Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Order taking | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Payment processing | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Table, takeaway, delivery mgmt | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Shift management | ✅ Yes (interactive) | ✅ Yes (read/view only) |
| Staff configuration | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Product and pricing setup | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Reporting and analytics | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
Tip
Think of the Admin Panel as your management dashboard, and the Android app as your service floor toolkit — used directly by waiters, cashiers, and staff during operations.
Summary
The PosBel POS Android Application is your establishment’s execution engine. It transforms the configuration done in the Admin Panel into real-world service workflows — from taking orders to closing out shifts — all in real time.
