Orders

Overview

The Orders Screen displays orders based on various criteria such as status (open/closed), order type, server, ticket, table, tent #, date, etc.     It is designed as a simple and interactive way to find and recall any ticket at any time.   It also provides access to various server banking functions.  

If you are clocked in as a job type "Eligible to be assigned server tickets", and your store is using the "Room Layout" table screen, the table screen will be your default view when you log on.

 To Recall a ticket:

  • Navigate to the Orders screen using the Orders icon at the top of your screen

  • Select the order type, or select ALL

  • Select Open / Closed or ALL

  • Choose the server name, if known

  • Enter the ticket date, if desired

  • Enter the ticket #, table # or tent #, if desired

  • View the list below to find the ticket in question.

  • Touch the ticket # hyperlink, OR Touch the ticket, then press the Recall button to display the order on the Virtual Ticket, 

  • Press one of the menu tabs to start editing the ticket.
