Advance Restaurant features

This blog cover some advance Datio POS restaurant features including the following.  These features are available in version v2.21.3 or greater like v2.22.5.

1.  Joining Orders.  Take one order and join it with a second order to create one.  An example maybe kids and adult tables were two tabs and you want them to pay together.  Join the tickets.

3.  Split Order.  It is very simple to split a check wtih Datio POS in half, thirds, or any dollar amount.  But let us say a table wants to split based on what each person ordered.  This feature will allow you to do this.

2.  Large Party Tip.   Some restaurants like to add a default tip such as 20% for tables of 8 or more.  This feature lets you do this.

Joining Orders

First, create order and save it by pressing "Save Order."  Then go to "Order List"

Swipe to the left on the order to pull up the options of Join, Split, Delete and Edit.  Click on Join.
