📋 Overview
In addition to table orders, the Maitre'D Virtuo supports two order types that don't require a physical table:
Order type | Description |
Takeout Order | Customer is ordering food to take away. The order is linked to a takeout channel for reporting. |
Eat-In Order | Customer is eating on-premises but without an assigned table (e.g. bar seat, standing order, or quick-service context). |
🛍️ Starting a Takeout Order
From the dashboard, tap Takeout Order (or select it from the side nav menu). The order screen opens immediately — no table number or revenue center prompt appears. Browse categories and add items exactly as you would for a table order.
🍴 Starting an Eat-In Order
Tap Eat-In Order from the dashboard or side nav. Again, the order screen opens directly without a table number prompt.
The ordering interface — category groups, item grid, modifiers, seat management, and kitchen sending — works identically to table orders. See the Table Orders article for full details on building an order.
