Ordering Channels & Custom Rules

Pause Guest Ordering for One Table

Stop guests from sending new orders from one table, while staff can still order for it.

4 minBest for: Branch managers and floor staff

Step 1

Find the table

In DashDine HQ, open Branches, choose the branch and open Table Management. Each table has its own customer ordering switch.

  • Pausing one table does not affect the other tables

Step 2

Pause or resume ordering

Turn the switch off to pause guest ordering for the table. You see “Customer ordering paused for this table.” Turn it on again when the table is ready.

  • Guests at that table can still see the menu

Step 3

What staff can still do

The pause only stops guests from ordering by themselves. Staff can still take orders for that table in the POS or the waiter app.

  • Useful for reserved tables, large groups or a table waiting to pay

Common questions

Does pausing a table pause the whole branch?

No. It only affects guest ordering from that table. To stop all new orders, pause the service instead.
