Let's set up your shop
This walkthrough takes you through it one step at a time — about 15 minutes. You don't need to be technical. Click Next to begin.
You'll need three things:
- A computer or tablet for the till (anything with the Chrome browser).
- A phone with your shop SIM (an Android phone — or a VoIP number if you only have iPhones).
- A receipt printer for the kitchen (you can add this last).
💡 You can stop and come back any time — this page remembers which stage you're on.
Stage 1 · Make your shop
First we create your account. It's free and takes a minute.
- On the till computer, open the Chrome browser.
- Go to pizza.aydayazdani.com and click the orange “Open POS” button.
- Click “Sign in with Google” and pick your Google account.
- Done — your shop is created automatically with an example menu.
What you'll see — your POS

Four tabs across the top. We'll use each one.
Stage 2 · Put in your menu
Swap the example items for your real food and prices.
- Click the Menu tab.
- Click Edit to change an item, or + Add item to add one.
- Fill in Category (e.g. Pizzas), Name, and Price. Tick “Pizza sizes” for 9/12/15" pizzas.
- Click Save. Use Hide or Delete for anything you don't sell.

Stage 3 · Get your shop token
Your shop token is a secret code — like a key that tells us which phone calls are yours. You'll paste it in the next stages.
- Click the Setup tab.
- Find the box labelled “Shop token”.
- Click “Copy token”. Keep this tab open.

🔒 Keep it private, like a password.
Stage 4 · Make calls pop up on screen
Pick the option that matches what you've got.
- Put your shop SIM in an Android phone (Android 9+).
- Install Tasker from the Play Store and open it.
- Tap Profiles → + → Event → Phone → Ringing, then back. Choose New Task (no name), tap ✓.
- Tap + → Net → HTTP Request and fill in exactly:
Method: POST
URL: https://pizza.aydayazdani.com/call.php
Headers: X-POS-Secret: PASTE-YOUR-TOKEN
Body: number=%CNUM
- Back out to save, tap ✓ to switch the profile On (green).
- In Settings → Apps → Tasker → Permissions, allow Phone and Call Log.
- Ring the SIM from another phone to test.
🔋 Turn off battery optimisation for Tasker; keep the phone charging and on wifi.
- Put your SIM in an Android phone (Android 9+).
- Install the PizzaPOS Caller ID app and open it.
- Leave the Server URL as is; paste your shop token into Secret.
- Tap Grant permissions → allow Phone + Call Log.
- Tap Send test number, then ring the SIM.
🔋 Turn off battery optimisation / enable autostart for the app.
iPhone can't read incoming call numbers (Apple blocks it). Use an Android phone for the SIM, or route your line through a VoIP number — then the till works on iPhone/iPad too.
- Have your number on a VoIP provider (Twilio, Telnyx, a UK VoIP service…).
- In the POS Setup tab, copy your VoIP webhook URL (your token is already in it).
- In the provider, set your number's incoming-call webhook to that URL. Save and test.
💡 Best long-term choice — UK landlines fully switch to internet calls by 2027.

Stage 5 · Connect the kitchen printer
Two ways — start with “Simple” if unsure.
- Plug an 80mm USB receipt printer into the till computer.
- Set it as the computer's default printer.
- When an order's docket appears, click Print.
Every order prints by itself. Needs a network receipt printer.
- Plug a network 80mm receipt printer into the router; give it a fixed IP (e.g. 192.168.1.50).
- On the till, download agent.py (needs Python 3).
- Open Terminal / Command Prompt and run (your token + printer IP):
POS_TOKEN=YOUR-TOKEN POS_PRINTER=192.168.1.50 python3 agent.py
🖨 Buy an 80mm ESC/POS printer with Ethernet/LAN (e.g. Epson TM-m30II) + 80mm paper rolls.
