There are several ways to take a new order. These include taking a direct order, taking an order for a table, and taking an order for a customer. No matter how you take the order, you can assign or change its table and customer later.

To take an order quickly, press the "+ Order" button at the top of the page to start the order process.

When this button is pressed, the product categories and products defined in the system appear in a window.

Add the ordered quantity by clicking the relevant product box as many times as needed. Below each selected product, you can see how many units have been added to the order.

As products are added, colored indicators in the upper-left corner of the order entry screen show the number of products in the order. These dash-shaped indicators appear in different colors based on each product's preparation status within the order.

Indicators showing the number of products in the order

The contents of the new order appear on the right on large-screen devices and at the bottom of the window on small devices such as mobile phones.

Order contents shown on the order entry screen

The order number appears at the top of the order contents section. The order number increases one by one from the time your business opens that day. Directly below it are the name of the person who took the order and the date when the order was added to the system. Below that is information about the person who performed the last action. Information related to actions such as assigning a customer or table to the order will also appear in this area.

Below the upper section containing various details about the order, the middle section displays the products in the order as a table. The "+" and "-" buttons on the left side of the table increase or decrease the quantity of the relevant product in the order. Directly below the table is the order total, followed by some actions that can be performed on the order.

Below the actions are the payment types and the button required to close the order. You can edit these payment types in the business settings.

The "New Order" button is in the lower-left corner of the order entry screen, while the "Delete Order" and "Details" buttons are in the lower-right corner. The "New Order" button leaves this order open in the background and prepares the order entry screen for another order. The "Delete Order" button moves the order to deleted orders. Orders in Ritapos are not deleted for a certain period unless the business owner requests it. The "Details" button opens the order details page, where you can view order details and perform other order-related actions that are not needed all the time.
