The consumer will then return to the Cart screen. The item will have (Sold Out) displayed to the right. The consumer can tap the item marked with the red (Sold Out) label to remove it and continue through the checkout process.

- When they have made their selections, they click the Add item button.

Picking Up an Order
Picking Up an Order From a Café
If a Now Serving screen is included in the location's setup, the consumer's order will display on this screen when the order is called from the KDS. See the KDS section of this guide for more information on KDS functionality.
- When the consumer order is ready or the kitchen staff needs to ask a clarifying question, the consumer’s order will flash green, slide out of the Preparing section, and slide into the Now Serving section of the screen.
- The Order will be prominently displayed at the top of the Now Serving section.
- When the consumer has responded to the order call and the order is handed to them, the consumer’s order will be removed from the Now Serving screen.
- If the consumer selected a locker system (if applicable) as a pickup location, they would have received a receipt with a QR code and number code on it. When the consumer arrives on site, they would either manually type the number code in on the touchscreen panel on the locker, or they can scan the QR code from the receipt. The locker associated with their order will automatically pop open for them to grab their food. The QR/number codes are unique to each order.
