2. Call Center Orders

Support agents can manage phone orders and finalize them in chat for record-keeping and confirmation.

3. Large-Scale Catering

Efficiently manage bulk orders for catering events or large gatherings.

How It Works

1. Initiating the Order

Agents start by filling out customer details in the chat interface, including:

• Order Type: Delivery or Pickup
• Order Timing: Now or Scheduled
• Branch Location

Example: A customer calls requesting delivery to their home. The agent inputs their address and confirms delivery preferences.

2. Adding Products to the Order

Agents select items from a categorized product catalog and can:

• Adjust quantities.
• Add customizations, such as toppings or sauces.
• Note special instructions in the comments.

Example: A customer orders fries with ranch sauce. The agent selects "Fries" from the catalog and adds "Ranch Sauce" as an extra topping.

3. Reviewing the Order

Before finalizing, agents review the order summary:

• Item breakdown, including product details and customizations.
• Total cost, including taxes and additional fees.
• Select the payment method (Cash or Online).

4. Confirming and Sharing

The finalized order is shared directly with the customer in the chat, complete with:
