Order sections
Keep your orders neat and tidy with order sections! This feature lets you group your orders in a way that makes sense for your business, whether you’re running a restaurant, café, or any other type of business that takes orders.
Order Section Groups
Think of order section groups as your main categories. For example, a restaurant might create groups for each floor or dining area, while a café might create groups for indoor and outdoor seating.
To create a new order section group:
- Click the ”+ New order section group” button.
- Give your group a name that reflects its purpose (e.g., “First Floor,” “Patio”).
- Choose a grid size that will accommodate the number of order sections you need.
Pro Tip: Use smaller groups to avoid overwhelming screens, especially on mobile devices.
Customize your group with these options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Disable service charge | Automatically turn off service charges for orders in this group. |
| Keep open | Keep orders open even after payment, useful for payment-before-seating setups. |
| Default payment type | Set a preferred payment method for orders in this group. |
| Order limit time | Specify a maximum amount of minutes before a warming will be shown. |
| Custom color | Make the order section group more recognizable for your staff. |
| Default order tags | Specify what order tags should automatically be enabled for order created in this Order section group. |
Order Sections
Order sections are the individual units within each group, like tables in a restaurant or seating areas in a café.
To create a new order section:
- Select an order section group.
- Click the ”+ Add section” button.
- Name your section (e.g., “Table 4,” “Lounge Area”).
- Set a maximum number of customers if applicable.
- Choose a default payment type.
- Set a default payment type for this order section.
- Enable Order limit time to show a warning after a number of minutes has passed since the order was created.
Easy Management:
- Drag and drop sections to rearrange them within the grid.
- Edit sections by clicking the pencil icon.
- Delete sections (after settling any open orders) by clicking the trash can icon.
