Who
Owner or manager sets it up on the main counter PC.
Android & iOS
In the app open the side menu → "Shop network" → "Scan pairing code".
  1. 1

    Pick the main counter#

    Choose one Windows PC that stays on all day, plugged into the shop router by cable if you can. Open BillingBaba on it and press Ctrl+Shift+K.

  2. 2

    Turn it on#

    Under "Shop network" set "This computer is" to "The main counter". If it says the firewall is blocking it, click "Allow on firewall".

  3. 3

    Choose the role#

    In "Next device is used by" pick Cashier, Waiter, Kitchen, Manager or Owner. The role decides what that device may do through the main counter.

  4. 4

    Pair each device#

    Click "Pair a device". Scan the QR code with the phone app, or on another PC set "This computer is" to "A terminal" and type the 6-digit code. Pair one device per code.

  5. 5

    Check the list#

    "Paired devices" shows every device and its role. You can change a role there or remove a lost phone.

Tip: Give the main counter PC a fixed address in your router so phones always find it.
Tip: iPhone: if the main counter is never found, open Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network and turn on BillingBaba.
Tip: Waiters can mark a ticket served only after the kitchen marks it ready. Only owners and managers can take over a bill another device is editing.
Caution: Keep the main counter switched on during service. If it is off, other devices cannot share bills until the internet is back.
