I am missing orders when using the New Order Manager
We apologize that orders are being missed after upgrading to the New Order Manager. We’ve found that orders can be missed if orders are not set to ‘auto-accept’ or the order was not manually accepted within the timeframe determined by the ordering platform (usually within 3 minutes). Both of these issues can be fixed by adjusting the settings to ‘auto accept. To update your notifications to auto accept, follow the steps below:
- Click the profile icon on the homepage and then select 'Settings' in the drop down.
- Select the “Orders” app settings
-
Toggle “Auto-Accept” ON so that orders are automatically accepted once received.
Note:
If your order notification setting are not set to ‘auto accept’, you must manually accept the order (within the timeframe determined by the OFO, usually within 3 mins, or else the order is canceled)
I have No Sound Notification on incoming orders
If you are not hearing the sound notification of new orders, you have the ability to set your notification behavior preferences when using the New Order Manager interface. To set your preferences, follow these steps
- Click the profile icon on the homepage and then select 'Settings' in the drop down.
- Select “Notifications” on the settings page and then select the notification type you'd like to adjust from the list of options.
- Behavior: You can choose between two behavior options: ‘persistent’ (the notification will not dismiss until you accept or decline the order) and ‘auto accept’ (the notification will dismiss after 3 seconds)
Note: The Persistent behavior is most similar to the old order manager. If you are not hearing the notifications, the persistent behavior is highly recommended
Note: If you select ‘manual accept’, the ‘auto accept’ behavior will not be an option as you will have to manually accept the order before the notification dismisses.
I have No Sound AND No visual notifications on incoming orders
If you have No Sound AND No visual notifications on incoming orders, the reason is likely that the tablet has an incorrect time compared to the order’s system time. To fix this:
-
Tablet Settings
-
Scroll down and select the 'General Management' section
-
Select 'Date and Time'
-
Make sure the ‘Automatic date and time’ is toggled ‘ON’
