      Starting a Dine In Order

      How to start a dine in order for a guest:

      Step 1: Click + Tab 

      Step 2: Choose the spot the guest is sitting at

      Step 3: Add items to the guest's order. You can flip through menus and categories to find items.

      Step 4: Send & Pay, Send, or Send & Stay*

      Send & Pay

      • Easily place an order and pay upfront 
      • Scenario: a pick-up counter

      Send

      • Send an open tab order to the kitchen and authorize the guest's card or capture payment later. 

      Send & Stay

      • After sending the first order, the server is immediately prompted to input another order
      • Scenario: a server inputs the drink order, and then inputs the food order to pace the order


      When the tab is open, you can ask the guest to pay with a physical credit card, authorize their card, or text them their bill to pay on their phone.

       

       

      *Note: You may also choose to show the Send & Auth button on your POS which would allow your staff to send the order and immediately prompt for the authorization of a card. To enable this for your POS go to More > Settings > Spots & Menus and toggle on "Show Send & Auth Button".
