Configuring Future Dated Orders

When a customer places an order for the next day (or another day in the future), this is called a future dated order. You can configure the store’s timing for sending future dated orders to the POS.

  1. Log in and go to the Tools dashboard.
  2. Select Stores.
  3. Search for the store, and then click the Edit link adjacent to the store.
  4. Click the Future Date Orders tab.
  5. In the Process Mode drop-down list, select the timing for future dated orders:
    • None: Future dated orders are not accepted.

    • Send to Pos On Order Date Use Interval: Future dated orders remain in the cloud until the Interval (mins) and Interval (days) values allow the order to be sent to the POS. For example, if the Interval (mins) time is set to 180 minutes, the orders remain in the cloud until 180 minutes before the orders need to be fired to the kitchen.

    • Do not send to pos: Future dated orders remain in the cloud until they are fired to the kitchen.

    • Send to pos immediately: Future dated orders remain in the POS until they are fired to the kitchen.

    • Sent To Pos On Specified Date: Future dated orders are sent to the POS at the Actual Time, and remain in the POS until they are fired to the kitchen.

  6. Click the Save button.
