This guide is for you if you’re using P&P Cashier for the first time. Have a laptop or phone ready to open the Back Office, one tablet (iPad or Android) for the cashier, and your menu list. If your menu is already in Excel, the whole process goes much faster.

Roughly how long it takes:

Stage Estimated time
Sign up & verify your email 5 minutes
Setup wizard (9 steps) 15–30 minutes
Pair the cashier tablet 5 minutes
Open a shift & run a test transaction 10 minutes

1. Sign up and verify your email#

  1. Open the sign-up page. Go to console.pickandpreps.com/signup. Fill in Owner name, Business name, Email, WhatsApp / phone, Country, Display language, and Password (at least 8 characters).
  2. Accept the terms of service, then tap Create account. No credit card needed. Your 14-day free trial starts once your email is verified.
  3. Enter the verification code. We send a 6-digit code to your email. Type it in and tap Verify & continue. No email? Check your spam or promotions folder, or tap Resend code.

2. Complete the setup wizard#

After verification, you land straight in the Set up your outlet wizard. Progress saves automatically, so you can stop and pick up later. The first five steps are required. You can skip the other four for now with Skip for now.

  1. Business & outlet. Enter your business name, logo (printed in black and white on receipts), and brand name (shown on receipts and the QR menu). Then set up your first outlet: outlet name, a 3-letter Outlet code (used in receipt numbers), address, city, time zone, and opening hours. You can add your NPWP (tax ID) and NPWPD (regional taxpayer number) later.
  2. Business type. Pick the closest match: Café / coffee shop, Full-service restaurant, Quick service (QSR), or Food court. The system sets up matching starting settings right away and shows a summary. Not sure? Read Choosing a business model.
  3. Order flow. Choose where orders come from (Cashier, Waiter, guest QR), when guests pay (Pay first or Pay later), whether dine-in orders must have a table, and whether orders without a table are called by name or queue number.
  4. Payment flow. Choose where guests pay and which methods you accept. Cash is always on because it’s used when offline. Add EDC per bank or Bank transfer if needed. Dynamic QRIS needs a payment gateway, which you can connect later.
  5. Tax & charges. Set PBJT (Indonesia’s regional restaurant tax, formerly PB1, usually 10%), whether menu prices include tax, service charge, and rounding. The receipt preview next to it updates instantly, so you can check the result.
  6. Modules. Turn on the features you need for your plan, such as Tables & QR ordering or Kitchen (KDS & kitchen printer). Turning a module off doesn’t delete any data.
  7. Menu & tables. Download the Excel template, fill in one row per item (or per variant), then upload it. New categories are created automatically. In a hurry? Add a few items by hand first, for example Kopi Susu Gula Aren at Rp22,000 and Nasi Goreng Kampung at Rp28,000. If the Tables & QR module is on, create areas and tables in the same step on the Tables & QR tab.
  8. Cashier device. Pair your first cashier tablet (see section 3 below). The first tablet automatically becomes the outlet’s Local Hub.
  9. Staff. Invite managers or supervisors by email, and add cashiers, waiters, or kitchen staff with a 4–6 digit PIN. Device staff are active as soon as you save.

At the end of the wizard, the Ready to sell page summarizes all your choices. Tap Finish & start selling.

3. Pair the cashier tablet#

  1. Install the P&P Cashier app on the tablet (iPad or Android), then open it.
  2. Find the “Pair this device” screen. The tablet shows a large QR code and a 6-character code, such as K7M-4QX, with a 10-minute countdown.
  3. Approve from your phone or laptop. Scan the QR code with the camera of a phone that’s signed in to the Back Office, or type the code in the Cashier device step of the wizard.
  4. Choose the type and mode. Choose Outlet device, mode Cashier, give it a name (for example “Cashier iPad”), then tap Approve.
  5. Wait a moment. The tablet shows “Paired ✓”, then downloads the menu and settings.

For full details, including staff personal phones and device quotas, see Pair tablets & phones.

4. Open a shift and try a test transaction#

  1. Sign in as staff. On the tablet, pick your name on the Who is on duty? screen, then enter your PIN.
  2. Open a shift. The cashier tablet opens the Shift & cash menu right away. Count the money in the drawer, enter it as Opening cash (for example Rp200,000), then tap Open shift.
  3. Create a test order. Open the Order tab and tap a menu item, for example Kopi Susu Gula Aren. Choose modifiers if there are any.
  4. Pay. Tap the Pay button, choose Cash, tap Exact, then finish. Choose a printed or digital receipt.
  5. Check the Back Office. Open Back OfficeTransactions. The test transaction appears as soon as the tablet syncs.

5. Ready to sell#

On Back OfficeDashboard, the Ready to sell card walks you through the remaining steps: business & outlet profile, add your menu, connect a cashier tablet, open a shift, and try your first transaction. The card disappears on its own after your first transaction comes in.
