We're excited to introduce Saved Orders - a powerful new feature that enables your staff to build an order and save it for later. It's a flexible option that helps solve 2 common scenarios. This is part 1 of 2, where we'll discuss Saved Orders for open tabs (think bar tabs or checks).

This is all done from the Elevent Box Office. To do it right, you'll need the Concessions and Merchandise Add-on and be a Premiere or Enterprise client.

It's fairly simple for your staff. First, they add items as normal to the cart.

Instead of speeding along to checkout after every request, they push the button to open a tab.

Later, then can add more drinks, food, or slap bracelets to their tab and pay whenever they are ready to close out.

All along, Elevent is creating and assigning a 7-digit order number to the order--that'll be the order number upon completion. The saved order can be copied into the cart, modified, and either saved again or moved to checkout at any time.

Checkout is the same process as with any order--tipping may be involved. Discounts and comps may be applied. Vouchers and Gift Cards could be used. Payment is processed and a receipt is printed.
