Thou shall not make changes during an open shift

Quickly adjusting the price of coffee? Or changing an order flow? No problem, but please not during an open shift!

There are several reasons for this: changes during an active shift...

  • ... can ruin your reports.
  • ... are not compliant with tax regulations because you have an item with different prices within a single shift.
  • ... can lead to technical issues and disrupt your workday unpleasantly.

Avoid the following changes during an open shift:

  • items/family groups (including prices and tax rates)
  • order flow
  • roles, permissions, and users
  • payment methods
  • deleting printers

Additionally, avoid making simultaneous changes in MY orderbird and orderbird PRO outside a shift.

 

The golden rule

Always make changes to your menu during a closed shift and either on MY orderbird or directly in orderbird PRO, not simultaneously in both products! This way, you stay on the safe side.
