How to Implement Order Ahead

Pre-Requisites

4. Review Doshii's API concepts, especially:

5. Check out some of the Frequently Asked Questions

Considerations

1. For dine in orders, you may wish to additionally implement the retrieval of the POS Tables and subsequently create a Check In against the table.  Review Check In Statuses, and ensure a check in is created prior to the order.

2. Synchronise the POS menu to have the POS validate the items on the order. Alternatively, you may submit 'open items' by excluding the posId from the item.

3. Each order should subsequently be paid for by the submission of one or multiple transactions.  You can submit prepaid transactions, or submit a transaction and process it once the customer is ready to pay.  Review the transaction status flow, or the implementation of POS-Initiated Payments.
