## ⚙️ Order Behavior Settings

Controls how new orders behave on the POS — takeaway defaults, prompts, receipts, and booking rules.

### 📝 How to configure
1. Tap the **Settings** icon in the left sidebar
2. On the **POS** tab, open **General Settings**
3. Tap **Order**
4. Adjust any of the following, then tap the green **Done** check to save:

| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Take Away** | Default new orders to Take Away instead of Dine In. |
| **Diner Dialog** | Show the dine-in / take-away selection dialog when starting a new order. |
| **Auto Popup Order Note** | Automatically open the order note dialog when a new order is started. |
| **Exit Menu After Payment** | Close the item menu and return to the table view after payment completes. |
| **Return to Tables After Send** | Return to table selection after sending an order. |
| **Hide Combo Items on Receipt view** | Hide combo child items on the printed receipt, showing only the parent combo line. |
| **Hide Combo Items on Interactive View** | Hide combo child items on the POS order list, showing only the parent combo line. |
| **Allow End Shift with Open Table** | Enable this to allow staff to end shift even when there are open tables |
| **Date Time Format** | Select the date and time display format for receipts and reports |
| **Invoice Number Prefix** | Custom prefix for invoice reference number (e.g. 01, A1) |
| **Always Show Modifiers** | Display modifiers for all items without requiring selection |
| **Enable Quick Check Button** | Show a check button on the POS order panel to print a guest check without changing invoice status |
| **Auto Prompt Pax** | Automatically open the pax dialog when entering a new order or a table without pax set |
| **Clear Order Note on Add Item** | Automatically clear order-level note when adding items to an existing order |
| **Order Font Size** | Font size for order list and receipt preview (12-24px) |
| **Booking Slot Limit** | Max bookings allowed per time slot, 0 = unlimited |
| **Use Real Table for Booking** | When enabled, selecting a booking for checkout will prompt to choose an actual table |
| **Simplified Booking Mode** | When enabled, skips service selection, uses 60-minute default appointments, shows only start time, and removes slot limits |
| **Check Required Modifiers** | When enabled, blocks sending orders and payment if required modifier selections are incomplete |
| **Disable Line Merge Between Sends** | Prevent same products from merging into an already-sent line |
| **Keep Unsent Items On Sync** | When another device updates this table, keep items not yet sent instead of discarding them |
| **Keep Auto Items at End** | Keep packing fee and seat fee lines at the bottom of the order |

> **💡 Tip:** These are POS-wide defaults for every new order — they do not change orders already in progress.
