The Quick Sale screen allows you to perform the following tasks:

Use the Checks list options:

If an item needs to be remade, it needs to be re-fired.

They may be able to adjust the POS configuration to provide more appropriate options. See Point of Sale (POS) Configuration Menu Overview for more details.
