      5. Send the order through. 

       Note: When adding more products to a tab that has a phone number assigned, a popup will occur prompting you to choose the existing phone number on the tab.

        • It is important to note that this newly entered number will not replace the previous one. When assigning a new number, you will have more than one phone number associated with the tab.
        • When having more than one number associated with a tab, you will need to select which number receives a text message when putting in a new order. The last number selected will be the default number texted for each new order sent unless changed by a staff member.
