Order Types

An order type is a sales category based on where the order is consumed, such as Dine In or Take Out. You can set up to 32 order types for each location. Order types control active tax rates for a transaction, allocating a tax based on where the order is consumed. For example, often Take Out orders are taxed differently than Dine In orders.

You can specify the order type for a transaction, which is the order type of the current round. If the workstation operator changes the transaction order type, the order type of all menu items in the current round changes to the selected order type, while the order type of the check remains unaffected.
