About

You can add a custom note to your order in 3 ways:

A) Product note: Add a note to a specific product on a docket. This can be written on the spot, or preconfigured.

B) Order note: Add a note to a whole order, shown at the beginning of a docket. This can be written on the spot, or preconfigured.

C) Note docket: Add a note like a separate line item to your order. This can have its own printer location separate to the rest of the order. This note is always preconfigured.

Examples

  • Extra takeaway cup

  • Extra napkins
