Takeout

Takeout lets you attach a pickup time to an order and makes it instantly recognizable on the register. Go to Backoffice > Settings > Takeout to turn it on.

The takeout settings in the Backoffice

Settings

  • Active: turns takeout on. If this is off, the Takeout button won’t show up anywhere on the register
  • Colour: the colour a receipt gets once a pickup time is set, so takeout orders stand out among the others
  • Automatically print on: pick a printer to automatically print the preparation ticket as soon as a takeout order is placed
  • Receipts start undocked: receipts from this takeout order don’t start docked on the kitchen display
  • Plan future takeouts: allow a takeout to be scheduled for a day in the future, instead of only a time today
  • Create task for future orders: automatically creates a task whenever a takeout is scheduled for a future day

Marking an order as takeout

Add the Takeout button to your buttons screen (see Setting up your POS with buttons). At the register:

  1. Tap Takeout on an order
  2. Choose a pickup time (and, if enabled, a date)
  3. The order gets a label with the pickup time. It’s shown everywhere, including on kitchen displays.
