## Summary
Use this tour to understand the main parts of Selio Restaurant App before service: where staff starts orders, reviews open checks, takes payments, and where managers continue with reporting or close-of-day work.

## About Selio Restaurant App
Selio Restaurant App is the front-of-house POS workspace for daily restaurant service. Staff use it to start orders, work with checks, move through payment, and keep service moving. Managers use the same app context to review activity, transactions, fiscal actions, and end-of-day tasks.

## Before you begin
- Sign in on the correct device and wait for the app to finish syncing.
- Confirm the location and active menu match the service you are preparing for.
- Decide whether the team starts most orders from **New Sale**, **Floor Plan**, or both.
- Use a training order or a quiet service moment if staff are still learning the screen layout.

## Steps
1. Open Selio Restaurant App and identify the main navigation areas available to the signed-in role.
2. Choose the order entry path for this service: **New Sale** for direct order entry or **Floor Plan** for table service.
3. Open or create a training order and review where items, quantities, notes, modifiers, and next actions appear.
4. Check where the order can move next: send, hold, edit, split, pay, or review, depending on the workflow enabled for the location.
5. Locate the payment and transaction areas so staff know where to confirm a completed payment or investigate a guest question.
6. Locate manager-facing areas such as live sales, reports, fiscal actions, and close-of-day tools.
7. Choose the next detailed article based on the role: order entry for staff, payments for cashiers, reports and close of day for managers.

## Troubleshooting
- **A key screen is missing:** The signed-in role or location setup may not expose that area.
- **Menu content is empty or outdated:** Recheck sync and confirm the device is using the expected menu.
- **Floor Plan is not available:** That location may not be configured for table service.
- **Staff are unsure where to start orders:** Pick one default path per service type and train that path before adding alternatives.
- **The screen looks different across devices:** Confirm each device is assigned to the expected location, mode, and workflow before service starts.
