When you'd use it

When a guest asks about their order, the kitchen needs tomorrow’s pre-orders, or someone needs to check what was texted to a guest.

How it behaves

The Ordering section holds menus, products, tables and orders. It is open to your team except the front-of-house and IT support roles. Order statuses read in plain English, from Received to Completed.

Search looks across all of a venue’s orders, not only the page on screen. It matches the order reference, the table, the Square payment id or receipt number, and the guest’s name or email.

Pre-orders sit in the same list. Orders shows who each pre-order is for and when they are coming, with booking-date filters, deposits, each guest’s items and allergies, and a CSV export. See group pre-orders.

Each order has a Texts section listing every message the guest was sent about it, with the wording, time, number, delivery status and cost.

Place cards print from pre-orders in Ordering. Search to choose the guests, and set-menu dishes print under their courses.

Good to know

  • Roles without Ordering do not see orders or place cards.

  • Search covers every order at the venue, so an older order is found from its Square receipt number.
