What are Batching Groups?
Order batching collates orders on the same table number so that they print on the same docket. Venues can adjust this batching time to suit their venue. Venues can also create multiple batching groups with different batching times. Most venues have a longer batching time for food and a short batching time for drinks. This is how you create batching groups:
Add Batching Group
- Go to Batching & Printers > Batching Group
- Select Add Batching Group (eg. Food and Drinks)
- Select Batching Time
- Select Create
