Why a generic till can struggle
The difficult part is not taking a payment. It is capturing the correct meal.
Indian takeaway menus often combine sizes, proteins, sauces, rice or naan choices, spice preferences and optional extras. Add telephone orders, collection times and delivery details, and a simple product grid can become difficult for staff and kitchen teams to follow.
A suitable EPOS setup should reduce ambiguity. The confirmed order needs to show what was selected, which choices affect preparation, how the customer will receive it and what has already been paid.
A practical workflow
Configure the till around how your kitchen really works.
Choices and notes
Use clear options for common choices and retain a specific note when an order needs individual kitchen attention.
Collection or delivery
Keep the fulfilment method and agreed timing visible instead of relying on a separate handwritten reminder.
Kitchen ticket
Give the preparation team a consistent confirmed order, including the choices and notes that matter.
Payment
Record the transaction cleanly and avoid mixing operational order details with the payment process.
Daily close
Review sales and payment totals through a repeatable end-of-day reconciliation.

Buying questions
Indian takeaway EPOS FAQs
What should an Indian takeaway EPOS system handle?
It should make combinations, sizes, spice choices, extras, collection and delivery details clear without forcing staff to rewrite the order for the kitchen.
Is Codeer EPOS software free?
The locally installed Windows EPOS application is available for £0. Hardware, payment processing, installation and optional cloud access are separate choices.
Will the till work without the internet?
The main Codeer application runs locally on Windows. Card terminals and other connected services can have their own connectivity requirements.
Can Codeer configure my existing menu?
Codeer-assisted setup can structure the till around the menu and ordering workflow you agree before installation. Complex menus should be reviewed with real example orders.
