Floor Plans for a Shop
Creating floor plans for your restaurant using the Odoo 15 PoS module is easy. We can configure floor plans for a restaurant from your Point of Sale. Choose the Point of Sale menu from the Configuration tab of the Odoo 15 PoS module, and a list of all Point of Sale is visible to you.

Payment Methods
The process by which customers pay for a service or commodity is a payment method. Various payment methods include debit cards, gift cards, mobile payments, and credit cards.

We can use the default account from the settings of a company by leaving the space of Intermediary Account empty.
Select your firm name in the Company field and click the SAVE button to generate a Cash payment method. Next, we can formulate a Bank Payment method for customers. Apply Method as Bank and set the Bank from the Journal field. We can apply an outstanding account in the payment method for a bank journal.
