Managing Orders

Whereas the Dashboard is the place where you set up your venue, the Orders page is the main tool used to fulfil your orders. It allows you to see new orders in real time, to print the orders to the kitchen, manage the status of an order, and to send notifications to the customers.

You can click on any order to bring up more details:

From this screen, you can accept/reject orders (unless auto-accept is enabled), you can set their status (preparing/completed) or send notifications to customers. You can also use the buttons at the top to cancel an order (or mark it as no-show), and to print the order (for example - to your kitchen printer).
