Create Orders for Eat-in With a Table Number

Introduction

Use orderType and table to create an eat-in order that includes the table number for restaurant staff.

Eat in means a customer consumes the order at the location. Add a table number so staff know where to serve the order.

Set these fields in the order payload:

  • To set the order type, use "orderType": 3. The value 3 identifies an eat-in order.
  • To include the table number, use "table": "Table 5".

Deliverect shows the table number and sends it to the POS (point-of-sale system) in the order notes.

Does this automatically open the order on a POS table?

Adding a table number won't open the order on that table in the POS. A direct table integration requires the table ID. Use the GET POS Tables from Location endpoint to get the table ID for a location.

Not all POS systems currently return the table IDs.
