Order management is the most crucial part of every restaurant. Restaurants have complex business operations with three different systems that are completely dependent on others. The kitchen, counters, and tables are the three different systems running at the same time, any error in the coordination may lead to a bad reputation.
When an order is received by the waiter from the table, or at the counter for takeaway, by a call agent for delivery, or at the counter for drive-thru the order has to be transferred to the kitchen. When the order is completed it is sent to the counters to be dispersed to dine-in, take away, deliver, or drive-thru. In this process, the counters have to be aware of the order status to entertain the client if they inquire about it. secondly, the payment receipt of these orders has to be generated from the counters.
Order management in the KOT helps you align all the orders for takeaway, dine-in, delivery, and drive-thru so that all the orders are assigned to their concerned people.
