What are Join Checks?

Join Checks is a restaurant POS feature that enables employees to merge two or more separate customer checks into one. When multiple tables or parties want to pay together, this feature can be used to combine their orders into a single bill.

Rather than handling each check separately, the POS system consolidates the selected checks and generates one unified check, streamlining the payment process.

How Join Checks feature works in a Restaurant POS System?

If customers would like to combine their bills, the server or cashier can use the Join Checks option in the POS system. The employee selects multiple checks that have already been created for the customers.

In general, the following is how the process works:

  • The server selects the checks they would like to join together.
  • The POS system then combines all items from the selected orders and creates one final bill.
  • The final bill includes all items ordered from the joined checks and is processed as one payment.

This feature is very useful for customers ordering as part of a group, large parties combining their orders into one bill, or customers moving between tables who want their orders added to a single check. It provides accurate billing and makes managing payments for restaurant staff more efficient.
