How to use PrepLogs

PrepLogs takes a takeout or dine-in order, saves the sale on the device, and prints a receipt when a printer is connected. Version 1.0 has no sign-in. Turn the device sideways.

Add what you sell

Open Items and tap Add item. Enter a name and a price. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Save. A new install has no items until you add them.

Take an order

Open Counter and tap an item to put it in the cart. Change the quantity there. Tap Confirm & print when the order is ready. Choose Takeout or Dine in. For takeout, you can set a due time. Confirming saves the sale on the device, then prints if a printer is connected.

If no printer is connected, or the printer does not answer, the sale is still saved. The app says “Could not print.” The order is in History.

Find a past sale

Open History. Use From and To to limit the list. Open a sale to read the lines. Reprint sends that same sale to the printer again. It does not add another sale.

See the counts

On History, tap Analytics. From and To limit the range. The page shows sales, revenue, items sold, and the average sale. Group by date, week, month, weekday, hour, per item, top 10, or service. List shows rows. Graph shows bars, or slices for takeout and dine in. Per item and top 10 amounts are item totals, before fees. The other amounts are sale totals.

Connect a printer

Open Settings, then Printer. Use Printer for a receipt printer on the same Wi-Fi network, or Bluetooth for a nearby printer. Tap Connect. A connection check does not print a receipt.

If the printer was saved and is not answering, the status says “This printer is not answering.” Tap Remove. That forgets the printer on this device. It does not delete sales. Tap Connect to choose it again.

Test printer is only there when that printer is connected. It prints a short test, not a sale.

Receipt, tax, and fees

In Settings, open Receipt to set the business name, contact line, and footer, and to turn tax, amount, and order number on or off for the printed slip. Under Tax / Fees, add a named percent or amount. A percent of 0 is not saved.

What stays on the device

Items, the open cart, sales, receipt text, fees, and the chosen printer are stored on the device. PrepLogs has no account and no server. Deleting the app removes this data from the device.
