Order Destinations
An order destination is assigned to each order when an order is started at the POS. Examples of order destinations include: Eat In, Carry Out, and Delivery.
In a typical POS configuration, the default order destination for a terminal is automatically assigned to each order entered at that terminal. The user can change the order destination for an order at the POS during the order lifecycle.
