Video Guide - Manage Live Orders
To completely manage the orders lifecycle, you will need to have an internet-enabled device in-store. We highly recommend using an Android or Windows laptop or tablet with Chrome for the greatest compatibility. This device will need to be placed in an area where whoever is responsible for online orders can easily check, access, and update orders.
Visit your restaurant dashboard and navigate to the Live Orders page. The interface updates in real-time with new orders so you do not need to refresh the page. There are several key features of the order management interfaces:
A new order notification will pop up on the screen with a ringing sound to make sure new orders are not missed
You can click an order to view the details of it and make updates
Accept/Reject order
Send status updates using Whatsapp
Print Bil
Update quantity of ordered dishes
Order Detail Page. Accept/Reject Order
At this point, you can customise the system as you please and start accepting orders. We recommend you continue reading the articles in this section. You will learn how to configure the system to your requirements and manage orders in-depth.
We highly recommend that you use the website or to optimize all your images. Given that the maximum image width is only around 600 pixels, it's best to make sure all your images are no wider than that. This is going to help significantly with your page load time, especially for mobile customers.
