Set up and manage Special Request Quick Keys

Learn how to create and manage Special Request Quick Keys on the Eats365 POS or on the Merchant Portal.

The Special Request Quick Keys setting allows you to create a preset of short tappable words or phrases on your menu Items to easily modify your customer’s orders if they have a special request. For example, the customer might ask for more ice in their drink. You can use the quick keys so you won’t have to type the request manually on the Eats365 POS.

In this article, you’ll learn how to create Special Request Quick Keys, as well as, manage existing Special Request Quick Keys.

Add Special Request Quick Keys
