Adding an Order Type

     The Order Type option lets you set customized names to describe the type of order.

This is useful when your offerings goes beyond Dine In, To Go, and Delivery. You can add additional options such as Catering, Call In's, etc.

Order types can also be used for separating revenue centers. The Default Order Type is set per register; meaning you can have various iPads have different defaults.
Ex: A drive-through station can have a "Drive-Through" order type, Register 1 can have a "Register 1" order type, etc.

1. Go to add a new type by tapping through the menu: Dashboard > Back Office > Settings > Order Types
   
2. Tap the + on the top right to add a custom type.
