You will work with one of our staff to set up your online ordering account at Oftendining.com. You will receive your own business profile and menu online. After the setup is complete you have the freedom to upload and update prices, menu items and pictures instantly on your site whenever you want. It's like having your own website but it's easier to update and you won't need to know how to program. Best of all, everything can be changed directly from POS system or remotely. Where Do Customers Make an Order? Customers can order from your website or they can enter through Oftendining. Before an order can be made, every customer is asked to make an account to process and pay for their meal. Methods of payment vary and will depend on individual stores. Customers cannot make an order if they do not create an account. Once the order is sent, it will arrive directly to your Auphan Dining point of sale system, where you will receive a pop up message alerting you of an order. You can custom set the parameters for the time and how you want to receive orders. What's Special about our Online Ordering System? It's fully integrated! This means online orders are directly received by your point of sale system allowing you to view your invoice and customer on your system. Other online ordering systems use fax or email orders which require you to re-input the order into your system wasting time. Not only that, you have full access to change your online menu at any time since the menu online is directly pulled from the point of sales system. With other online ordering providers you need to call in and fax them your new menu and wait for them to have time to update your online menu. What are the Costs? Online ordering is an included service we provide for those on our support plan. It is one of the added benefits we offer to our customers. You will be amazed at how easy and streamlined online ordering can be when incorporated into your operations.
