SambaPOS Operations Training

Built from your live system — your outlets, terminals, payment types, modifiers, memberships, warehouses and automation. Trainer demonstrates on a real terminal → staff repeats → supervisor signs off. Everything below uses the buttons and screens your staff actually see.

Your system at a glance ORIENTATION · EVERYONE · 20 min

Before touching a terminal, everyone should recognise how your setup is organised. These are pulled from your live database — not generic SambaPOS defaults.

The Beach & Pool Bar is your core business (about two-thirds of sales). Most of this training uses Beach Bar examples; Restaurant and Wild Wood work the same way with their own menu and guest screen.

Part A · Service FRONT OF HOUSE · WAITERS & SUPERVISORS · ~2.5 hrs

Goal: any waiter can seat a guest, take an order with the right modifiers, manage the ticket, and settle it on any terminal — without help.

A1

Log in, Clock in, and the Work Period

20 min
WaitersSupervisor
Nothing happens outside a Work Period — no sales, no purchases, no transfers. One person opens it in the morning; the system uses it to bracket the whole trading day.
Exercise: everyone logs in with their PIN, clocks in, opens each screen, logs out.
A2

Seat the guest — Chairs & Tables

20 min
Waiters
You have 176 chairs/tables mapped across guest screens. Always open the ticket on the guest's chair so anyone can find and add to it later.
Exercise: open a ticket on Sea Chair 5, then find it again from the Bar Chairs screen list.
A3

Take the order — and use your Modifiers

35 min
Waiters
Modifiers (order tags) tell the kitchen/bar exactly what to make. You built a lot of them — using them prevents remakes and complaints. Many are written in Thai + English so every team member can read them.
Coach's focus — modifiers are underused. Only about 1 in 40 orders currently carries a modifier. For food especially, choosing the meat, spice and cooking tags is what stops wrong plates going out. Drill it until it's automatic.
Exercise: ring a Thai dish (choose meat + spice), a smoothie with a Booster, and a steak with a cooking method — on one ticket.
A4

Person Count — every ticket

10 min
Waiters
Your ticket tag Person Count records how many guests are on the bill. This is the number that drives your spend-per-head and covers reporting.
Coach's focus — half your tickets are missing this. Person Count is filled on only ~50–58% of tickets, which weakens the guest-behaviour numbers on your dashboard. Make entering it a non-negotiable step at the moment you open the ticket.
Exercise: open a ticket, set Person Count = 3, add orders, and confirm it appears on the ticket.
A5

Fire to the kitchen / bar & the KDS

15 min
Waiters
Exercise: send a food + drink order, watch it appear on the KDS / kitchen printer, then add one more drink and re-send.
A6

Ticket operations — Move, Merge, Split

30 min
WaitersSupervisor
Beach groups move around and split bills constantly — this is a daily skill, not an edge case.
Exercise: two chairs with orders → merge → print bill → split it 50/50.
A7

Corrections — Cancel, Void, Gift, Change Price

30 min
WaitersSupervisor
Because 859 recipes auto-deduct stock on every sale, sloppy corrections quietly break your inventory. Use the right button for the situation.
Policy to set: gifts and price changes are rare today (only a handful of gifts on record). Decide who is allowed to Gift / Change Price and require a reason, so the numbers stay trustworthy.
Exercise: cancel an un-sent item; then (supervisor) void a sent item, and gift one drink — check both on the ticket.
A8

Settle the bill — Fast Pay buttons

25 min
Waiters
Exercise: settle one ticket with the Cash button; settle another half Cash / half Credit Card from the Settle screen; do one Room Charge.
A9

Fixing a settled ticket — Re-open & Unlock

15 min
Supervisor
Exercise: settle a ticket, re-open it, add an item, settle again.

Part B · Wild Wood FITNESS OUTLET · WILD WOOD STAFF · 30 min

Wild Wood is a separate business line on the same POS (~a third of revenue). Staff use the WildWood menu and its own guest screens.

B1

Passes, Members & WW consumables

30 min
Wild Wood
Two kinds of sale: access (day passes & memberships — the fitness business) and consumables (protein smoothies, pre-workout, smoothie bowls — these are F&B).
Exercise: sell a WW 1-Day Pass, and ring a protein smoothie with a Booster, then settle.

Part C · Stock & Inventory BACK OF HOUSE · STOREKEEPER / HEADS / ACCOUNTING · ~2 hrs

Goal: stock in (purchase), stock out (transfer & sell), and stock counted — accurately across your 11 warehouses. You run 859 recipes and count stock almost daily, so this is a real, active part of your operation.

C1

Products vs Inventory Items

20 min
BOHAccounting
A Product is what you sell (466 of them — Mojito, Burger, Day Pass). An Inventory Item is what you buy and count (812 of them — rum, limes, beef, buns). Recipes connect the two.
C2

Recipes — how a sale removes stock

25 min
BOH
When a product sells, its recipe deducts the ingredients automatically. You already have 859 recipes — the job is keeping them correct as the menu changes.
Exercise: create a "Test Smoothie ฿180", build its recipe, sell 3, and confirm the deduction on the inventory report.
C3

Your warehouses & where consumption lands

25 min
BOHAccounting
You run a full multi-store setup. Sales in each outlet pull stock from the matching warehouse automatically (an "Update Order Warehouse" rule does this) — so keep each store's counts real.
Storage warehousesConsumption / special
Main Store · Kitchen · Beach Bar · Restaurant · NON-FOOD SR · ENG Stock (engineering) · HSK Stock (housekeeping) SPOIL (wastage) · BF Consumption · SM Consumption · NON-POS Consumption
Exercise: open the Warehouses screen and read the live Inventory column for Beach Bar on three items.
C4

Purchasing (receiving stock)

25 min
AccountingBOH
Note: you currently enter purchases without linking a supplier account (no suppliers are set up as accounts). That's fine for stock & cost. If you later want supplier payables/aging, we can add supplier accounts.
Exercise: receive a mock 3-line delivery into Main Store from a paper invoice.
C5

Store transfers & spoilage

25 min
BOH
Exercise: transfer 12 bottles Main Store → Beach Bar and confirm both balances changed; then record 1 broken bottle as SPOIL.
C6

Physical count & variance

25 min
BOHSupervisor
You already count regularly (~30 counts/month). The count is where you catch shrinkage — the gap between what the system expects and what's on the shelf.
Exercise: count 3 bar items, enter the physical figure, read the variance.

Part D · Cash-up & Close the Day CASHIER / SUPERVISOR · 30 min

D1

End of Day & End Work Period

30 min
Supervisor

Closing checklist, in order:

  1. All open tickets settled — the system blocks closing otherwise (check the Tickets list).
  2. Cash reconciliation: count the drawer against the Work Period Report. Cash is ~89% of your takings, so this is the big one.
  3. Room Charge handoff: confirm the day's Room Charge slips are with Front Office to post to guest rooms.
  4. Enter physical inventory adjustments (End of Day Records) for counted items.
  5. Print & review the Work Period Report: sales by outlet, payments, voids / gifts.
  6. Work PeriodsEnd Work Period — locks the day and fixes inventory + cost numbers.

Next morning: Start Work Period, then check the "Transfer" column carried yesterday's closing stock.

Part E · Reports & Dashboard MANAGER / ACCOUNTING · 20 min
