Requiring Approval for a Tender in NX Restaurant

In NX Restaurant, you can configure certain tenders to require managerial approval before being applied to a guest check. This is useful for controlling sensitive payment types such as house accounts or employee meals. When configured, employees must either have the correct permission or request an override from someone who does.

Enable “Require Approval” for a Tender

• Navigate to Configuration > Ordering > Tenders.
• Select the tender you want to modify or create a new one.
• Toggle Require Approval to ON. 

This setting will require that the employee using the tender have the Order: Approve Tender permission active for their current job.

Assign Permissions in the Employee’s Job Role

• Go to Labor > Permission Sets or Labor > Jobs.
• Choose the relevant permission set or job (e.g., “Manager” or “Supervisor”).
• In the search box, type tender.
• Enable or disable the permission labeled Order: Approve Tender.

The employee must be clocked in under a job assigned to this permission set in order for the approval to be recognized.

POS Behavior When Using the Tender

When an employee without the proper permission attempts to use the tender in the POS app:

• A pop-up will appear stating that the employee does not have the required permission.
• They can select Override? to allow a manager or authorized user to enter their code and approve the tender.

Use this feature to ensure only authorized staff can apply restricted tenders and maintain tighter control over sensitive transactions.
