Refunding or surrendering a deposit
In accordance with your company policy, you can refund a deposit to a customer or you can surrender the deposit to compensate your organization for labor and/or food costs. When a customer cancels an order with a deposit attached, the system forces you to either refund or surrender the deposit before allowing you to cancel the order.
