Pre-orders & Order Ahead

The meal is ready to start when the guest arrives, not when they sit down.

Pre-orders turn a booking into a planned service. The guest books, adds the meal in advance and sees Pre-order saved on their profile. The reservation in the Owner Portal carries the pre-order, its items and its value.

On the kitchen board, scheduled pre-orders sit in a panel above the live lanes with a suggested release time worked out from the booking time and how long each dish takes. Releasing is a one-tap decision, and the pre-order becomes Round 1 when the party is seated. Order ahead for pickup or delivery uses the same kitchen board.

Plans

Reservations and pre-orders are on the Suite plan.
