Note: Don't tap Delete in the queue. A deleted transaction never reaches the server and is missing from your reports.

Tip: Status button shows ⚠ 1 failed after a guest paid? Do not charge the guest again: the cash is in the drawer, but the payment was not recorded. Open Tables, tap that table, tap Continue order, then Pay tab once more with the same payment method. It can happen when you take payment a few seconds after Confirm on a slow connection.

Note: Sign out & discard deletes unsent transactions for good. Don't clear the app's data or uninstall it either until the status button says Synced.

Tip: Wait for Synced before you close the books, so the report has every sale.
