Tables Site Setup

Defining Alerts

Site administrators can define a series of alert messages to be sent out to staff (servers and managers) following certain events. This allows you to send a warning alert to staff and/ or management if a customer’s order status hasn’t changed for a defined period of time.

Alerts can be set up for all order states if required by your business model.

Alerts can also be sent out to iServe as notifications.

Where alerts are defined for multiple course combinations, for example Desserts/ Coffee, when the highest priority item from the course combination is rung up, Tables will automatically switch to this status.

Navigate to Tables Admin → Site Setup → Alerts
