Example of an Eat In order type printed on a Kitchen Docket using the {ORDER TYPE} print variable
Example of a Pick Up order type and a Table order displayed on a KVS screen
Likewise, Captions such as INSIDE or OUTSIDE or GAMING ROOM for a Eat In order type configured POS Key can be used to facilitate the delivery of orders to different dining areas by wait staff. |
Notes ...
The {ORDER TYPE} print variable will need to be used when configuring the dockets. For example:
- Multiples of this POS Keys can be added to a keyboard, and each can be preset to a specific Order Type. For example, Delivery, Dine In, Drive Thru and/or Pick Up.
- Default Order Types:
- For Table orders associated with sales in a restaurant, then the default would be set to Eat In (Dine In). This would be set in Table Tracking settings, HERE.
- For all other orders/sales, the default can be set HERE to a specific order type. For example, Pick Up. However, if an order/sale is associated with a Table, then the default set HERE will take precedence.
- Delivery Charges/Fees:
- An order/sale that is to be delivered to an address may incur a delivery fee. Refer HERE more information.

The Caption associated with the POS Key will need to reflect the order type selected. For example, if the Delivery order type was selected, then the caption would possibly be, Delivery.
Also, when the Order Type (#19) POS Key is added to a layout, the Caption associated with the POS Key is sent to the Kitchen Printer and/or KVS. So, Captions like INSIDE or OUTSIDE or GAMING ROOM can be used for POS Keys, configured with the Eat In order type selected, to facilitate delivering of orders to different dining areas by wait staff.
