Park and Retrieve orders

Learn how you can park unconfirmed orders and retrieve them once they are ready to be processed in the kitchen.

If a customer has already begun placing an order, but then suddenly had to pause for various reasons, you can park the order on the Eats365 POS first and then retrieve it later on when the customer is ready to confirm their order. 

In this article, you’ll learn how to park a customer’s unconfirmed order and how to retrieve it for processing at a later time.

Delete

Important: 

The Park and Retrieve feature is currently available on the following service types and restaurant modes: 

  • Full Service mode: Takeout (available for same day orders and next operation period preorder), Catering
  • Quick Service mode: Dine-in, Takeout (available for same day orders and next operation period preorder), Catering
  • Food Court operation: Dine-in, Takeout (available for same day orders and next operation period preorder)
