Automatically Send Orders to Kitchen Printers - When eCommerce Orders are placed and contain Stock Items which are configured to print to the Kitchen, these orders will be printed to the Kitchen Printers automatically.

Kitchen Print minutes before Expected Time - When eCommerce Orders that contain Kitchen Items are received and this option is configured with a specified number of minutes, the order will print to the Kitchen Printer the number of minutes before the expected/delivery time. Ensure that "Automatically Send Orders to Kitchen Printers" is also enabled when configuring this option. By enabling and configuring this option, the Kitchen staff will have the required time to prepare the order so that by the time the customer arrives, their meal is freshly prepared, hot and ready for collection.

Enable Web Orders to be linked to Table Map - This function enables orders that are received from Idealpos Local Serves Online Ordering to be linked to the Table Map. The way the Idealpos Local Serves Online Ordering Integration works is by the customer scanning a QR Code at their Table, entering the number of the Table they're seated at, then finally selecting the items they want to order and entering their payment details to place the order. Any items ordered by the customer will be automatically saved to the corresponding table on the Table Map as per this setting. When enabling this option, we strongly recommend that you also enable the "Automatically Finalise Prepaid Web Orders". This is due to the fact that all orders placed via Idealpos Local Serves Online Ordering must be pre-paid before they're saved to the Table. If the Automatically Finalise Prepaid Web Orders is not enabled, any items ordered via Idealpos Local Serves Online Ordering will require payment when paying the Table, even though the items have already been paid via Idealpos Local Serves Online Ordering.

The sound will be repeated at the interval configured in this setting whilst there are pending Web Orders waiting to be processed/finalised. If the repetition of the sound is not required, set this option to either 0 or blank. After all the Web Orders have been processed and finalised, the sound will stop repeating until the next Web Order(s) arrive.
