With the obligation to issue receipts, which applies from 01.01.2020, you can also send your customers invoices by e-mail. This requires the entry of an email-address, but saves paper!


In a nutshell

  • Directly from the orderbird app: Tap on the three dots when checking out "..." and select "Send receipt via email".
  • Or send the e-mail later via MY orderbird: Go to the archive of invoices, click on the e-mail-symbol and enter the mail address.

Let's go

In the orderbird app

  1. Pick the table where the guests want to pay.
  2. Tap on the green box with the three white dots.

Any questions?

How can I re-send an invoice in the orderbird app or send it out later by email?

As long as you are still in your ongoing shift, you can do this via the payments archive!

  1. Tap on "Payments" in the main menu to open the payments archive in the orderbird app.
    Select the relevant invoice.
