Receipts: Ability to print customer receipts and kitchen-specific order receipts, enhancing order processing and clarity.
Inventory Management: Simplifies stock management, enabling efficient tracking and replenishment.
Sales Tracking: Provides essential data for informed decision-making and business growth.
