order-capture-offline-order-entry

The vendor publishes offline scope in three named buckets. Fully supported: 'Create/save open orders. These orders are only stored on the iPad that created the order', 'Process Cash, Check, and Other payment types', 'Local pre-authorization', PIN sign-in between employees. Limited: settings changes 'will sync when the connection is restored'; 'Open/Closed orders stored locally on iPad. The last iPad to modify an order will be able to view while offline only'; 'Table layout allows to create New Orders and view tables in use'. No access: 'Credit card transactions, tip adjust, and settlement', gift cards and store credit, refunds and exchanges, 'Reports and Customer list', 'Order syncing between different iPads', 'Editing Menu/Inventory'. Shortfalls: order state is confined to the originating iPad with no cross-device sync, so a multi-terminal floor fragments; and sending to the kitchen is named in none of the three buckets, so offline kitchen printing is not established by the vendor's own published scope. Recovery is manual on failure -- a red cloud means 'there was an error saving data' and the only remedy documented is 'Log and Clear Orders', which 'will erase the failed action(s)'. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Managing-Orders-in-Offline-Mode · retrieved 2026-08-04

order-capture-scheduled-orders

Scheduled orders exist: 'Customers can easily schedule an order for pickup same-day or for a future date ... even if your business is currently closed', and the order lands on Register > Orders > Online with the chosen date/time. Release is governed by one store-level Prep Time Estimate ('This time determines when Elavon POS sends an order to the kitchen') and only in the 'Auto-send to kitchen' mode, which works on 2-minute intervals. Shortfall: no per-channel lead time -- the prep-time setting applies to website orders only and Deliverect orders 'Follow the settings from your account on Deliverect. It is not affected by your online ordering prep time estimate settings'; off-hours orders are 'placed in your queue at next opening' rather than at a computed fire time. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Online-Ordering-Features-and-Functionality · retrieved 2026-08-03

menu-pricing-nested-modifiers

The complete modifier-creation walkthrough (both talech Register and talech.com) defines the entire model as product -> modifier set -> options: name the set, choose Add On or Exclusion, 'Select Price Attribute if the modifiers have a price', 'Select Minimum and Maximum Selections Allowed', then 'Select Options to create the modifier list choice(s)'. Modifier sets attach to products only; there is no field anywhere in the enumeration for attaching a modifier set to a modifier option, so the tree is one level deep, not three. Min/max and forced selection ('A minimum of 1 will require the user to select at least 1 option') are present at that single level. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Product-Modifiers · retrieved 2026-08-03

menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size

The full product-field reference lists the Modifier Sets section as 'Add existing modifiers to the product ... Select a modifier to apply it to the product. Select the Select Defaults button' -- attach and set defaults only, with no per-product or per-variation modifier price override. Modifier price is a single value carried on the option inside the shared modifier set ('enable add-on pricing for each option'). talech's own comparison table draws the line explicitly: a modifier 'Can add an additional charge to the base price' while only a variation 'Can configure specific quantities and cost for each individual variant'. Per-size modifier pricing therefore requires duplicating the modifier set. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Creating-and-Editing-a-Product-on-talech-com-new · retrieved 2026-08-03

The modifier option configuration is fully enumerated on both Register and talech.com and consists of an option name plus an optional price -- there is no quantity, tier, or multiplier field, and no light/regular/extra concept. The only quantity-related modifier setting in the product is Modifier Credit, which refunds the price of a de-selected default modifier toward another priced modifier. talech's own guidance adds that 'Quantity tracking for modifiers, add-ons or exclusions is not something you can get reports on from your talech account' (Variations vs Modifiers). https://help.talech.com/s/article/Product-Modifiers · retrieved 2026-08-03

Shortfall on the audit half: only voids get an approver-attributed record -- 'Every void is recorded in talech. The voided items report will include ... the employee initiating the void, the manager approving the void, date/time, the item, the dollar amount, the reason'.

kitchen-station-routing

Routing exists and is operator-configurable per location without vendor involvement: 'When orders are sent to the kitchen from the Register app, the items in that order will go to printers based on their Tag(s) or Category', set at Dashboard > Back Office > Settings > Printers > select the kitchen printer > select either Categories or Tags and tick each one 'that you would like this printer to print kitchen receipts for'. Shortfalls: the destination is a receipt printer, not a KDS station -- no kitchen display or expo screen exists anywhere in the 269-article help centre, whose sitemap contains no KDS article; and the only routing keys are product Tag and Category, so routing by order type or revenue centre is not available. Item-level routing is reachable only by giving an item its own tag. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Printers-Setup-Printers-to-Create-Kitchen-Receipts · retrieved 2026-08-04

kitchen-expo-consolidation

talech's documented kitchen output is thermal ticket printing, not a display system: 'When orders are sent to the kitchen from the Register app, the items in that order will go to printers based on their Tag(s) or Category', configured under Back Office > Settings > Printers by selecting Categories and/or Tags per printer. There is no kitchen display, expo screen, or bump/complete state in the help centre -- the only displays documented are customer-facing displays -- so there is no screen on which multi-station items could be consolidated or an order marked complete once every station has bumped. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Printers-Setup-Printers-to-Create-Kitchen-Receipts · retrieved 2026-08-03

delivery-driver-roster

Delivery in talech is an online-ordering order type with no driver concept anywhere in the product. The online-ordering settings reference enumerates the entire delivery configuration -- toggle the order type on, Payment Options, Order Amount Limits, and 'Delivery Area (Delivery order type only): Set a delivery radius for your customers who want to place an order for delivery' -- and contains no driver entity, assignment state, or run tracking; the same page notes that orders from DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub 'do not automatically connect to talech ... you'll need to manually enter those orders into the talech Register'. The surrounding enumerations are equally driver-free: the Employee Permissions Breakdown lists ~25 per-action permissions with none for drivers or dispatch, the Employee Timeclock flow is a generic PIN clock-in with no assignment state (in-store / on-run) attached, the report catalogues (operations/finance, products/services, sales trends) contain no per-driver report, and the live help-centre sitemap (269 articles) has no driver or dispatch article. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Online-Ordering-Settings · retrieved 2026-08-04

The product-field reference confirms Product Visibility is a checkbox to 'include this product in your point of sale and/or your online store', and modifier sets carry the same flag ('Select whether to include the add-on in your online store'), so a single item edit propagates to the ordering site. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Show-or-Hide-Products-for-Online-Ordering · retrieved 2026-08-03

The only automatic trigger there is a one-off enrolment bonus-point award, not a triggered message. However, the live Download Customer List article references a separate product ('selecting Yes means the customer will receive marketing emails from talech's campaign feature'), and talech Campaigns is documented only on the decommissioned Zendesk help centre: help.talech.com/hc/en-us/articles/205011699 returns HTTP 401 to unauthenticated requests, as does the whole /hc/en-us tree.

labor-clock-in-at-pos

Clock-out is the red circular button on the dashboard screen, PIN, then 'Clock Out', with an option to take a configured break instead (length and paid/unpaid customisable) and an offer to 'print out their hours for their shift'. Recorded hours 'automatically feed into the Labor Cost Setup' and surface in the Labor Cost report on talech.com and from the Register back-office Reports tab.

It is queryable after the fact -- the Voided Items Detail report on talech.com gives 'individual transaction detail of voided items showing which item was voided, who approved it, amount voided, the reason', over date ranges of 1-365 days.

inventory-recipe-bom-costing

A single-level bill of materials exists as bundles and assemblies: components are searched for and added with a quantity each, 'A bundle deducts the inventory when it's added to the order', 'An assembly deducts the inventory when it's first created as an assembly', and variations can carry a different component set per size. Shortfalls against multi-level recipe costing: components are products only -- the whole walkthrough, on Register and on talech.com, adds products to a bundle and nothing in it attaches a bundle or a prep item as a component, so there is no sub-recipe layer; there is no recipe, plate-cost or theoretical-cost object at all, cost living only as the per-product Cost and Markup % fields on the product form, and the bundle price is set by hand ('Set a price for the bundle/assembly in the Bundle Price field'), with the auto-calculated figure beside it derived from component price, not component cost -- so no plate cost recalculates when an ingredient cost changes. talech's own answer to raw-to-usable yield is arithmetic by hand: '1 bottle = 1 unit. I serve 5 glasses per bottle. 1 divided by 5 is .2.' https://help.talech.com/s/article/Creating-Product-Bundles-and-Assemblies-new · retrieved 2026-08-04

inventory-unit-conversion-yields

The product record carries one Unit of measure, not a purchase/recipe/count triple: the Inventory section is Track Inventory, Unit of measure, Item #, Barcode and on-hand Inventory, with no conversion-factor and no yield or waste percentage field. talech's own answer for raw-to-usable conversion is a manual workaround -- to sell glasses from a bottle you build a bundle and compute the factor by hand: 'For our bottle of wine example, 1 bottle = 1 unit. I serve 5 glasses per bottle. 1 divided by 5 is .2. So, one glass of wine is going to be .2 for the quantity in the bundle.' The operator, not the system, stores the conversion, and no yield allowance is applied. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Sales-Unit-Inventory-Volume-For-Poured-Drinks-For-a-Keg-or-Bottle-from-Dashboard · retrieved 2026-08-03

You'll get a summary of key metrics to help with the daily or weekly monitoring of your business' performance', over four report categories, and a single-day range defaults to 'Hour' grouping on the chart. Shortfalls: it is browser-only -- the vendor's own talech Mobile overview guide routes reporting away from the phone app ('Reports (Available in the talech.com account.)' and 'access your account online by going to talech.com on a tablet or desktop device to manage the back-end account-specific information and reports'), so there is no owner mobile app dashboard; and no data-freshness interval is stated anywhere, while the one latency the docs do state runs the other way -- cash drawer reports are 'updated nightly and include only closed shift data'.

The Register Summary Report's Split by Category block 'breaks down each category and modifier list that generated sales', i.e. aggregated to the modifier set, not the modifier option; and talech states outright that 'Quantity tracking for modifiers, add-ons or exclusions is not something you can get reports on from your talech account'. No daypart or revenue-centre filter is offered on the Product Mix report. https://help.talech.com/s/article/reports-products-services · retrieved 2026-08-03

multi-location-org-hierarchy

The multi-location model is exhaustively enumerated as two flat options: 'You have two account options for connecting your businesses: shared multi-store or linked multi-store.' Both are a flat set of sites under one owner -- you 'select the individual location using the menu dropdown in the top left', 'Each report is available on a location basis for each account type', 'Orders are separated by location', and on Register 'you are prompted to select a location. All register functions, orders, and back-office settings will be specific to that location.' There is no region, group, or brand tier between owner and location, and nothing for reporting or permissions to be scoped to above a single site. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Multi-Location-Accounts-new · retrieved 2026-08-03

multi-location-central-menu-publish

Cross-location publishing exists but is peer-to-peer per product, not a corporate menu. You edit a product at one location and 'select Save Options > Save Changes & Sync', then 'select the locations you want to sync the product to' and 'the product attributes you want to sync across locations'; matching is by item number ('talech uses the item # field as the common identifier ... Product sync will only work correctly if you have an item # specified'), and a missing product is created at the target. Shortfall: there is no corporate-level menu object authored once and pushed in a single action -- the source of truth is another location's product record, syncable objects are limited to 'products, discounts, categories, modifiers, variations, gift cards, suppliers', and no publish or version history recording what was pushed, when, or by whom is documented. talech also warns that 'in some cases, there have been issues affecting the feature sync across locations'. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Multi-location-product-sync-new · retrieved 2026-08-03

multi-location-price-zones

talech has no price tier or zone object; per-location pricing is achieved by duplicating the item. Sync explicitly creates a separate product record at each site -- 'If the product doesn't exist at the location being synced to, talech will create a new one ... talech will update the product at location A and create a new product at location B' -- and differing prices are produced by de-selecting price from 'the product attributes you want to sync'. There is no location group to price against, no channel price book (the online store shows the same product price, controlled only by an include/exclude toggle), and no daypart price schedule in the product-pricing fields, which are Enable Variable Pricing, Cost, Markup % and Price. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Multi-location-product-sync-new · retrieved 2026-08-03

hardware-offline-mode

talech publishes offline scope explicitly, in three named buckets. Fully supported: 'Create/save open orders', 'Process Cash, Check, and Other payment types', 'Local pre-authorization', PIN sign-in between employees. Limited: cash-drawer bypass, settings changes sync on reconnect, 'Open/Closed orders stored locally on iPad', table layout can create new orders. No access: 'Credit card transactions, tip adjust, and settlement', 'Integrated electronic gift cards and store credit', 'Refunds via any type of payment or exchanges', 'Reports and Customer list', 'Order syncing between different iPads', 'Editing Menu/Inventory'. Shortfall: kitchen printing is not addressed in any of the three buckets, so the print-to-kitchen half of the claim is undocumented; and offline orders are 'only stored on the iPad that created the order', with 'the last iPad to modify an order' the only one able to view it. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Managing-Orders-in-Offline-Mode · retrieved 2026-08-03

hardware-kds

talech's first-party kitchen output is thermal printing and nothing else: 'When orders are sent to the kitchen from the Register app, the items in that order will go to printers based on their Tag(s) or Category', configured per printer under Back Office > Settings > Printers, and an order reaches the kitchen via 'Select Send to dispatch an order to the kitchen printer'. No kitchen display product exists anywhere in the documentation: the complete printer settings reference enumerates every global and per-printer setting with no display device, the only screens documented are customer-facing displays, the online-ordering settings' highest automation is 'Auto-send to kitchen' addressed to stores 'equipped with kitchen printers', and the live help-centre sitemap (269 articles) contains no KDS article. With no first-party KDS there is no bump-bar or touch input and no course/fire timing to assess. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Printers-Setup-Printers-to-Create-Kitchen-Receipts · retrieved 2026-08-04

extensibility-oauth-partner-apps

Checked the live integrations reference (help.talech.com/s/article/integrations), which enumerates the complete partner list -- Gusto, Paychex, QuickBooks Online, Xero (accounting/payroll), Deliverect (third-party delivery) and Homebase (timekeeping) -- connected from an in-product Integrations dashboard, and says nothing about how any of them authenticate. There is no developer portal: developer.talech.com does not resolve (DNS ENOTFOUND) and www.talech.com/api returns HTTP 403. A legacy 'Requesting API Access' article exists at help.talech.com/hc/en-us/articles/218019803 but the entire decommissioned /hc/en-us Zendesk tree returns HTTP 401 to unauthenticated requests, and no API article appears in the live Salesforce sitemap (269 articles). Whether API access uses OAuth 2.0 with scoped, individually revocable grants or a static key cannot be determined without reading a gated page.

extensibility-webhooks-push

Same evidence trail as the OAuth cell. The live integrations reference describes data movement only in business terms ('Elavon automatically sends sales totals, payments, and employee time to connected accounting and payroll platforms'; Deliverect orders 'flow directly into your POS') and never names a transport, event model, or polling-versus-push mechanism. No developer documentation is reachable: developer.talech.com does not resolve, www.talech.com/api returns HTTP 403, and the legacy API-access article at help.talech.com/hc/en-us/articles/218019803 returns HTTP 401 along with the rest of the /hc/en-us tree. Nothing establishes whether order-lifecycle webhooks are published.

reliability-offline-order-entry

Order entry survives an outage: 'Create/save open orders' and 'Local pre-authorization' are listed under Fully supported offline features, cash/check/other tenders continue, and under Limited offline features 'Table layout allows to create New Orders and view tables in use'. Shortfall: the vendor's three-bucket offline list never addresses ticket routing to kitchen printers or check printing, so those halves of the claim are undocumented; and the orders created are single-device only -- 'These orders are only stored on the iPad that created the order', with 'Order syncing between different iPads' listed under Features with no access while offline. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Managing-Orders-in-Offline-Mode · retrieved 2026-08-03

reliability-offline-kds-printing

Read the offline reference (help.talech.com/s/article/Managing-Orders-in-Offline-Mode), which enumerates offline behaviour in three explicit buckets -- fully supported, limited, and no access -- and kitchen printing appears in none of them; the no-access list covers card transactions, gift cards and store credit, refunds, reports and customer list, cross-iPad order syncing, and menu/inventory editing. Also read the two kitchen-printing references (Printers - Set Up Printers to Create Kitchen Receipts, Printers - General and Advanced Settings), which show printers addressed by IP on the local network and routed by tag/category but say nothing about behaviour when the WAN is down. There is no KDS in the product, so only the printer half of the claim is applicable, and talech does not state whether Send-to-kitchen works in offline mode.

reliability-printer-fallback

The printer reference enumerates every available setting -- five global Advanced settings, the per-printer settings (Printer Name, IP Address, Printer Model, Font size, Categories, Tags), the twelve-row Order Ticket Printing advanced table and the Receipt Printing advanced table -- and none of them designates a backup printer or KDS, defines failover on an unreachable printer, or raises a staff alert. The only routing-override mechanism is the manual 'Order Ticket Exclusion List for This iPad', which 'blocks the iPad from sending receipts to that printer' -- a deliberate exclusion, not automatic failover. https://help.talech.com/s/article/Printers-General-Advanced-Settings · retrieved 2026-08-03
