Orders are processed and managed in Restaurant POS using a variety of methods, depending on the needs of your restaurant environment.
Ordering methods
- Tables screen: This is the basic ordering workflow that is typically used in table-service environments. It lets you track and manage your orders by floor plan and table number. See Basic ordering.
- Overview panel: This method is optimized for quick-service restaurants and bars with minimal table service. Orders placed using the Overview panel are seen as virtual tabs in Restaurant POS. See Charging a payment to a customer tab.
- Takeout screen: This method lets you create, track, and finalize takeout and delivery orders all from one location. See Using the takeout screen to take orders.
To see a summary of all your orders, tap the Order button from the main navigation bar to access the Orders List.
