Note: This article discusses how to add Items to Dine-In and Takeout orders. For Delivery and Pickup orders, refer to Create Pickup and Delivery orders.

Add Items to a Dine-In order

To add Items to a Dine-In order, follow the steps below: 

  1. Log in to the Eats365 POS.
  2. At the top left, tap Dine-In to get to the Table Map screen. 
    Tip: You can set the Table Map screen as the default view from the General Preferences settings, so you won’t need to tap Dine-In every time you log in.
  3. If you have multiple Areas, select the Area where the table is located. Then, tap the table where the party is seated. 
    Tip: If a party has been seated but has not yet placed their order, then the table is colored yellow. To learn more about table status, refer to Manage table statuses.
  4. On the order-taking screen, select the Items that you want to add to the customer's order. 
    • To browse through different categories, tap the left and right arrows on the categories bar.
    • If you created a Custom Menu, tap All  then select your Custom Menu to switch menus. 
      Note: A Custom Menu only appears in the time slot that you set it to appear. For more information about Custom Menu, refer to Set up and manage a Custom Menu.
  5. When you’ve completed adding the Items to the customer’s order, tap Confirm. 
    Tip: If you’ve enabled Require Payment when Placing Order from the Dine-In settings, you won’t be asked to confirm the order. Instead, you’ll be required to go to the payment screen after placing the order.

Add more Items to an existing Dine-in order

Important: 

  • You can add more Items to an existing Dine-in order if the bill hasn’t been paid yet. If the bill is already paid, you must process a new order for the customer.
  • Disable Require Payment when Placing Order from the Dine-In settings so you can add more Items to an existing Dine-in order. If Require Payment when Placing Order is enabled, you won’t be asked to confirm the order. Instead, you’ll be required to go to the payment screen after placing the order.
  • If you’ve enabled Order Lock and configured it to automatically stop placing orders when a bill is issued, you won’t be able to add more Items to the order. You must unlock the order to add more Items. To disable Order Lock, refer to Set up Dine-In settings.
