# POS

> Open a Plato POS station, take orders, settle payments, split checks, and review service activity.

Use POS when staff are serving customers at a cashier station, table-service station, or call center station.

## Start With The Daily Flow

Most cashiers follow the same flow during service:

## Choose The Right POS Mode

Use **Main POS** for counter service, dine-in service, cashier payments, receipts, and sending kitchen tickets.

Use **Call Center POS** when a team takes delivery or phone orders from a separate station. Call Center POS should normally be created as a separate device so it can use its own order behavior and customer flow.
