Handle special requests of your guests

  • Bill notes: global notes associated with an entire customer’s Bill. This can be useful to communicate general information about this bill like “birthday party” or “special customer.”
  • Item notes: specific instructions or requests attached to individual items within an order. This is ideal for special customization requests like “no onions” or “extra spicy.” or, crucial information like “allergic to peanuts.”
