A: The credit card used to place a catering order is charged once the order is accepted by the restaurant via the POS.
Q: What is a House Account?
A: House accounts allow guests to have an account with a restaurant that functions like a credit card, where a limit and balance is established. This allows restaurant partners to extend credit to loyal customers right in our dashboard.
Q: Can I send bills to a House Account?
A: Yes, once it is set up the House Account payment option shows up at check out. You can record payments and adjustments against the House Account.
Q: Can I mark orders placed by non-profit organizations as tax exempt?

Q: Can my guests use loyalty on their catering orders?
A: Guests can use offer based loyalty and discounts on catering orders.
Q: Can I set menus/hours for specific special days, like holiday - hours?
A: Yes, you can set up time slots, schedules, and menus for specific holidays or times.
Q: What kind of reporting is available?
A: We have a vast amount of reporting including orders (by region, source, customer, and time frame), discount / loyalty sales, catering orders, transferred orders, account balances, customer list, menu hours, production sheet, order items, discount sales, locations, open invoices, and menu hours.
Q: Can guests place catering orders directly on my website?
A: Yes, there will be an “order” and/or “catering” button on your site that will direct guests to your menu to place an order.
Q: Can I reassign a delivery order from one location to another?
Q: Can I customize delivery radiuses and give each radius a specific fee?
A: Yes! Under the "Delivery" section of the admin environment of the dashboard you can set up "rules" for different delivery fee charges for different radiuses.
Q: Are there thresholds for catering orders?
A: Restaurant partners can set order throttling rules to establish what maximum/minimum scale of orders they’d like to accept, as well as minimum order value amounts for catering orders.
Q: What are production sheets?
A: A production sheet is printed on the day of the catering order fulfillment that describes all the necessary menu items needed for said order. For example, if a catering order is listed as “Taco Tray” on the menu, a prep sheet will say the details of the Taco Tray. Ex: 1 Taco Tray: lettuce, tomato, cheese, guacamole, chips, and seven servings of chicken. This allows your kitchen to know what to pack with the order.
Q: Can I configure a production sheet?
A: Yes, restaurants can define exactly what they want to appear on their sheet when a guest orders a specific catering item. This way the kitchen knows exactly what to prepare.
Q: Is it possible to enable tips on catering delivery only and not on pick up or any other service type?
A: Yes, tips are configurable by service type. Each service type can have tips enabled/disabled, along with different tip percentage suggestions. Standard tip options are 10, 15, and 20%. Tip percentage suggestion ensures whatever the restaurant enters is auto-selected for the guest at checkout.
Q: Is Lunchbox Catering ADA compliant?
A. Yes.
