Search for orders (Quick Serve)
Learn how to search for current and previous orders on the Eats365 POS for quick serve restaurants.
The “Order List” screen logs all parked and confirmed orders processed through various sources including the Eats365 POS, the Branded Online Store, and the Self Order Kiosk. You can easily retrieve past and pending orders manually or use different filter options to view and manage the order, or settle payments.
In this article, you’ll learn about the different ways to search for an order placed on the POS.
Important: You can only search for orders on the POS if the order was made in the past 30 days. If you want to search for older orders, use the Merchant Portal.
Search for an order by ID
When an order is placed, the POS assigns a unique order ID to the order. The order ID can be found at the top of the order list from the order-taking screen.
Note: The order ID is generated only after the order has been confirmed.
To search for an order by ID, follow the steps below:
- At the top right of the order-taking screen, tap Order List
. Then, select Find Order.
- Enter the order ID that you want to check.
- To confirm the order ID, tap the "Return" key on the iPad’s virtual keyboard.
The order appears on the Order List screen.
Search for an order by status
If you don’t know the order ID of the order that you’re looking for, you can search for an order by its status.
Tip: Searching for an order by its status mainly applies to takeout orders. Since takeout orders automatically disappear from the order-taking screen after the order is confirmed, you can search for an order by checking the order status on the Order List.
To search for an order by status, at the top right of the order-taking screen, tap Order List . Then, select from the list of available options. For more information about the different order statuses, refer to Check order status (Quick Serve).
Search for an order using a receipt barcode
To scan a receipt barcode through the Order List page, follow the steps below:
Important: To search for an order using a receipt barcode, you must have a connected external barcode scanner.
- At the top right, tap Order List .
- Tap Scan Barcode.
- Position the camera to frame the entire barcode area. The POS automatically scans the receipt.
The order automatically appears if the receipt scans successfully. This search method allows you to access orders quickly to settle payments for customers.
