Aloha Takeout Console allows you to manually adjust orders from the Back-of-House. Using this tool, you can remove orders that are not responding to other close commands, manually release future orders, cancel future orders, and reactivate future orders released or canceled in error. You can also manually create and export a .csv file of your future orders. You can also clear all orders, order metrics, and reset drivers with the Force EOD button.

Creating a future orders export file

Within Aloha Takeout Console, you can also create a .csv export file containing your future orders. Choose from one of two options, Incremental or Full. The End of Day process automatically creates an export file of your future orders. The Incremental export creates a file with any new or modified future orders since the last export, created either by the End of Day process or a previous Incremental export. The Incremental export includes any new or modified future orders since your last End of Day export or your last Incremental export, whichever was more recent. The Full export creates a file with all active future orders in the system. Use the Full export when adding NCR Back Office to your system or for any reason that requires a full export file of future orders. The system stores the export file in %\Bootdrv\Aloha\ftp\AdvanceOrders.

• With the 'Exports' tab displayed, click Incremental to export any new or modified orders since the previous export, or Full to export all future orders in the system. A successful export confirmation screen appears.
• Click OK.
