Enabling Aloha Takeout Future Orders and Deposits
To accept and schedule orders in advance, you must enable the Future Orders feature. Once enabled, a Start Delayed button appears on the right side of the FOH Look Up screen, from which you enter and release one-time future orders.
- With Takeout selected in the product panel, select Maintenance > Takeout Configuration > Takeout Settings > Options tab.
- Under the 'Future orders' group bar, select Enable future day orders.
- Select Activate future orders via server so that you can release future orders from the back-of-house without the need for an ATO instance running on a front-of-house terminal. To work properly, you must configure the ATO service to start an instance of the Aloha POS on the BOH system.
- Click Save and continue to the next procedure.
