That's where Tender Wise Billing in Butter POS comes in.

In this guide, you'll learn:

• What Tender Wise Billing means in Butter POS

What Is Tender Wise Billing in Butter POS

In Butter POS, Tender Wise Billing refers to the process of recording, tracking, and reporting sales based on the payment method (tender) used to settle bills.

A tender is simply a mode of payment, such as:

• Cash
• Card
• Online Transfer
• Any other configured payment option

Butter POS automatically groups sales totals by tender, making it easy to understand how much revenue came in through each payment mode.

Why Tender Wise Billing Is Important

Tender Wise Billing plays a critical role in daily restaurant operations because it helps you:

• Reconcile cash accurately at day close
• Match card and online transfer sales with bank settlements
• Detect cashier-level discrepancies
• Reduce manual errors during closing
• Maintain clean financial records

Without tender-wise tracking, payments get mixed together, making audits and reconciliations much harder.

How Tender Wise Billing Works in Butter POS

Here's how the flow works step by step:

1. Bill Creation

The cashier creates a bill as usual (Dine-in, Takeaway, or Delivery).

2. Bill Settlement

At payment time, the cashier selects a tender:

• Cash
• Card
• Online Transfer
• Or a split tender (e.g., part cash, part online transfer)
  

3. Automatic Tender Allocation

Butter POS records the amount against the selected tender(s).

4. Tender Wise Reporting

All bills settled during the day are consolidated into Tender Wise totals, which can be viewed in the Tender Wise Report.

What the Tender Wise Report Shows

The Tender Wise Report in Butter POS typically includes:

• Tender name (Cash, Card, Online, etc.)
• Total amount collected per tender
• Number of bills per tender
• Split tender values
• Change tender amounts (if applicable)
  

This report gives managers a clear payment breakdown for the selected date range.

Example: Tender Wise Billing in a Real Restaurant Scenario

Scenario:

A restaurant processes 5 bills in a day:

Tender Wise Summary in Butter POS:

• Cash: 800
• Online Transfer: 1,400
• Card: 1,800

Butter POS automatically splits Bill 4 across Cash and online transfer, no manual calculation needed.

At day close:

• Cash drawer should have 800
• Card settlements should total 1,800
• Online payment settlements should total 1,400

Where Tender Wise Billing Is Used Most

Tender Wise Billing is commonly used for:

• Day Close reconciliation
• Cash drawer audits
• Payment gateway matching
• Manager review and approvals
• Accountant reporting

It's one of the most relied-on reports for restaurant managers.

What Tender Wise Billing Is Not

To avoid confusion:

• It is not a billing type (like dine-in or takeaway)
• It does not affect pricing or tax calculation
• It does not change how items are sold
• It is purely a payment tracking and reporting feature

Best Practices for Using Tender Wise Billing

• Always review the Tender Wise Report before day close
• Train cashiers to select the correct tender
• Use split tenders instead of adjusting bills manually
• Match non-cash tenders with bank or gateway reports daily

Conclusion

Tender Wise Billing in Butter POS gives restaurants complete visibility into how payments are collected, without manual effort or calculations.

If you want accurate reconciliation, smoother day closes, and fewer payment disputes, this feature is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does "tender" mean in Butter POS?

In Butter POS, a tender refers to the payment mode used to settle a bill. This includes options like cash, card, online transfer, or other configured payment methods. Each tender represents a separate stream of money coming into the business. Butter POS tracks these streams independently so payments remain organized. This helps with accurate reconciliation and reporting.

What is Tender Wise Billing in Butter POS?

Tender Wise Billing is the method by which Butter POS records and groups sales based on payment type. Instead of mixing all collections together, the system separates totals by tender. This allows managers to see exactly how much revenue came through cash, card, online transfer, and other modes. It is primarily used for reconciliation and audits.

Is Tenderer Wise Billing automatic in Butter POS?

Yes, Tender Wise Billing works automatically once a tender is selected during bill settlement. The cashier does not need to perform any manual calculations. Butter POS assigns the paid amount to the chosen tender instantly. This ensures consistency across bills and eliminates human error during reporting.

Can a single bill have multiple tenders?

Yes, Butter POS supports split tender billing. This means a single bill can be settled using more than one payment method, such as part cash and part online transfer. Each portion is recorded under its respective tender. The system then reflects this accurately in Tender Wise Reports.

Where can I see tender-wise payment totals?

Tender-wise totals can be viewed in the Tender Wise Report within Butter POS reporting. This report consolidates all settled bills for a selected period. It shows totals per tender along with supporting details like bill count. Managers typically review this report during day close.

Does Tender Wise Billing affect tax calculation?

No, Tender Wise Billing does not affect how taxes are calculated. Taxes are applied at the item or bill level before payment selection. The tender only determines how the final payable amount is settled. Tax reporting and tender reporting remain separate in Butter POS.

How does Tender Wise Billing help during the day close?

During day close, Tender Wise Billing helps managers match expected collections with actual amounts. For example, the cash tender total should match the cash in the drawer. Card and online totals can be matched with bank or gateway settlements. This reduces discrepancies and speeds up closing.

What happens if the wrong tender is selected?

If the wrong tender is selected, the amount will appear under the incorrect payment mode in reports. This can cause reconciliation issues during day close. Managers may need to review adjustment reports to understand the mismatch. Correct tender selection is critical for accurate financial tracking.

Is Tender Wise Billing available for all bill types?

Yes, Tender Wise Billing applies to all bill types in Butter POS. This includes dine-in, takeaway, and delivery orders. Regardless of how the order is created, the payment is always recorded under a tender. This ensures consistent reporting across operations.

Does Butter POS support online transfer and digital wallets as tenders?

Yes, Butter POS supports online transfer and other digital payment methods as tenders where configured. These tenders are tracked separately from cash and card payments. This makes it easy to review digital collections independently. It also simplifies matching with payment gateway statements.

Can I track the number of bills per tender?

Yes, the Tender Wise Report includes bill count per tender. This shows how many transactions were completed using each payment method. It helps managers understand customer payment preferences. It can also be useful for operational and trend analysis.

Yes, Tender Wise Billing updates in real time as bills are settled. Each completed payment immediately affects tender totals. Managers can check live figures during the day if required. This makes mid-shift monitoring possible.

Does Tender Wise Billing help prevent cash shortages?

Can Tender Wise data be exported?

Tender Wise Reports can be exported where reporting access is enabled. This allows data to be shared with accountants or management teams. Exported reports retain tender-level breakdowns. This is useful for external audits and financial reviews.

Is Tender Wise Billing available on Android POS?

Yes, Tender Wise Billing works the same way on supported Android POS setups. The tender selection happens at bill settlement, just like other devices. Reporting also reflects the same structure. There is no functional difference in how tenders are tracked.

Does Tender Wise Billing track change given to customers?

Change handling is recorded separately where applicable. The tender total reflects the actual collected amount, not the bill value before change. This ensures cash totals remain accurate. It prevents overstatement of cash collections.

Tender access can be controlled through role-based permissions where enabled. This allows managers to limit misuse of certain payment modes. It also helps maintain operational discipline. Permissions improve overall financial control.

Is Tender Wise Billing useful for audits?

Yes, it provides a clear and traceable payment trail. Auditors can easily verify how sales were collected. Each tender total is backed by individual bills. This transparency simplifies internal and external audits.

Does Tender Wise Billing replace accounting software?

No, Tender Wise Billing does not replace accounting software. It provides operational-level payment tracking within Butter POS. The data can be used as an input for accounting. Final accounting still happens in external systems.

Is Tender Wise Billing mandatory in Butter POS?

Tender Wise Billing is not mandatory, but it is a core operational feature. Most outlets rely on it for accurate reconciliation. Without it, payment tracking becomes manual and error-prone. That's why it's widely used in daily operations.
