What are Future Orders

**Accepting an Order**

Once you are logged in and are on the Flight Deck Screen you will be able to see all the orders which have been placed for today as well as for a future day.


When orders are recieved they will sound a new order alert and display with a flashing red dot to show they haven't been actioned yet.

Customers will recieve a confirmation email when they place their order on your website, but will only get an acceptance email once you accept the order on the tablet.

To accept an order, select the order (tile will turn yellow), check the details of the order in the Order Detail Panel and then select the 'Accept Order' button at the bottom of the screen.


Accepting the order will:

Makes the red flashing dot to disappear
Sends the Customer the acceptance email
Prints a Ticket (if printer is configured - need help click here)
Provides option to print another ticket
Provides option to Pack the order when its ready
Adds the value of the order to your Flash Report - Accepted Orders Sales

**Rejecting an Order**

Before rejecting an order you should consider that these customers have come direct to you instead of going via a more expensive and less loyal alternative and there are other ways to control your orders e.g. Increasing Service Expectations or Orders by Time Slots.


However, there may be times that you have no choice and you simple have to select 'Reject Order' instead of the accept when the order is received.


Rejecting the order will:

Request you to select a Reason for rejecting
Sends the Customer a rejection email
If paid by CARD will arrange for a refund to be done on your behalf (note: takes 3 - 5 business days)
Will NOT print a ticket
Moves the order to 'Completed Orders' section and flags as rejected
Adds the value of the order to your Flash Report - Rejected Orders Sales

If an order needs to be cancelled or refunded once it has been accepted you will need to contact the Andromeda Helpdesk (helpdesk@androtech.com) to arrange a Full or Partial CARD refund

**Progressing an Order**

Flight Deck allows your customers to keep track of their order as well as for you to control the workflow in your location by being able to move the order to different stages.

The Stages  are:

Caution: the order diplayed in the Middle Order Detail screen is the one highlighted in yellow but may not be visable when moved to different stages.

**Changing Service Expectations**

Customers are provided a guide on when they should expect their order to be delievred (ETD) or ready for collection (ECT).


Not only does it provide a visual guide but also is used to manage ordering slots, first available order time and last ordering times. So careful consideration and planning is needed to maximise sales while providing great customer service.


To update these times in almost real-time for all new customers visiting your website simply select the icons at the top of the screen and increase / decrease the expected fullfilment times in minutes and click confirm.

Remember to reset them at the end of the night for the next day

### Viewing Flash Sales

**What are Future Orders?**

Future Orders should still be Accepted when recieved to ensure the customer receives the Order Acceptance Email.
