The ability to accept future orders can be an important part of your business. This guide discusses how to configure and use future orders, which allows you to accept, schedule, and manage orders for up to five years in advance in Aloha Takeout. You can control how you manage and release future orders to the kitchen, and you can accept deposits from customers to prepay part or all of a future order, to cover labor and food costs in the event a customer abandons an order.
Aloha Takeout also allows you to accept and schedule recurring orders, referred to as "patterns," to establish and manage these orders. With Aloha Takeout, it is easy to respond to customer requests to change the items and quantities within a recurring order, change the date of an individual order, change the frequency of the recurrence, and even cancel the recurring order.
