How to add a item through search

This will walk through adding an item to an order on a handheld by searching for it, instead of looking through the categories. Please click the link to see how to start a table on a handheld.

  1. On the order, tap + Add Item next to the guest the item is for.

  6. You're back on the search, and the + now shows how many you've added. Tap + again for another one, or search for the next item. When you have everything, tap Done at the top.

    Pro tip: Tapping the item's name instead of + adds it and takes you straight back to the order.
