ℹ️Introduction

You can enable "Eat In" and "Takeout" in the Express Checkout. If you select only one of these order formats, the guest won’t be able to choose—instead, the "Start Order" screen will

appear. If you use Ancon POS and don’t want the same menu structure as at the register, you can create a Custom Menu. To learn more, click here.
