Order Sections: Organize Your Orders Like a Pro
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: The Big Picture
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 Sections: The Nitty-Gritty
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.
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.
Remember You can always customize options for entire order section groups or individual sections to match your specific needs.
