Auto Bill to Room · default
After acceptance, one unpaid room bill is created and parked with the room/stay. Kitchen and delivery continue independently.
TWO PRACTICAL WORKFLOWS
Automatic room charges or existing manual billing.
The hotel chooses its workflow. Automatic room bills and manual invoices use the same order context and pricing rules.
Manual Billing
Managers can still open the existing billing screen, create or print bills, and record supported payment methods.
External POS / PMS
Record externally handled settlement or handover within the manual workflow; no automatic third-party accounting integration is implied.
ONE PRICE, ONE BILL
Consistent totals across guest ordering and the cashier.
One item price and consistent configured tax treatment apply across the guest menu, kitchen order, billing and room-bill record. A printed copy of an automatic bill must not generate a second room charge.

KEEP IT LIGHTWEIGHT
A room-bill register, not a hotel PMS replacement.
Managers can see outstanding room bills, print or share them, and record settlement when it actually occurs. A completed food-delivery task does not automatically mean a bill is paid. Room changes and cancellations must maintain a traceable bill record.
Room-wise overview
Find unpaid orders and review prior bill documents for a room/stay.
Print or share
Use existing manual invoice and receipt capabilities when guests request a paper bill.
Settle deliberately
Cash, card and other supported payment methods only count as collected when confirmed.
COMMON QUESTIONS
How room billing fits day-to-day hotel work.
The guest order, preparation, delivery and payment events are separate.
Does the guest have to pay before food delivery?
No. A hotel can park the bill and collect or record settlement later.
Can a hotel still generate a bill manually?
Yes. The current cashier process and invoice printing remain available.
Does this replace a PMS?
No. This is room-charge tracking and bill recording, not full hotel accounting or third-party PMS synchronization.
