An auto-order allows you to automatically add a separate order containing certain menu items (e.g. an entrance fee or a drink) to a guest tab.

Items from the auto-order specification are automatically added to the guest tab when the latter is opened on the POS terminal. These items are read-only.

You can specify an auto-order for a division, POS terminal, or table. Only one auto-order can be used per guest tab. The auto-order specification items are added to the order specification.

An auto-order specified for a table is added to a guest tab if the created guest tab is linked to that table. In this case, auto-orders that are specified for the POS terminal and division are not taken into account. The auto-order that was set up for the POS terminal is used if the guest tab is not linked to any table with its own auto-order. The auto-order of the division is used only when the two following conditions are met: first, the guest tab is not linked to any table with its own auto-order and second, the guest tab is opened on a POS terminal, for which no auto-order is specified.

Whether or not the attributes of auto-order specification items can be edited when you enter the order is determined by the sales parameters of these menu items. For example, in order to be able to change the number of menu items in the auto-order specification along with a change in the number of customers, you need to select the sales parameter that allows you to change quantity.

Auto-orders allow you to organise meals for your employees. For example, scanning their IDs in the cafeteria can allot each employee one lunch portion.

To set up an auto-order, you must perform the following operations:

In this example, we shall only consider the creation and configuration of an auto-order for the division. However, you can also create and set up auto-orders for the POS terminal or division in a similar manner.
