Frequently Asked Questions for Mala Hotpot Shops
Answers to the questions mala hotpot shop owners ask most.
Do I need to buy a special scale that connects to the POS?
No — MeeD POS works by having staff enter the weight read from any regular scale the shop already has. It's not a direct scale-hardware connection, so no extra hardware investment is needed.
How many ways can I set a price per unit of weight?
Each product gets one price-per-unit value — e.g. per hundred grams or per gram. Choose the unit that fits that product when setting it up in the system.
If a customer orders multiple rounds, does it combine into one bill automatically?
Yes — when a customer orders another round, staff can add the new items to the existing bill instantly, with no need to open a new bill or calculate separately. The whole table's sales are recorded in one place.
Can I change the price per unit later?
Yes — edit a product's price per unit anytime from the product management screen, ideal for when ingredient costs change frequently.
Can I sell both weighed items and fixed-price-per-dish items in the same shop?
Yes — set some products to price-per-unit-of-weight and others to a fixed price per piece within the same system, ideal for shops with both weighed and standard-dish menus.
