Editing a Catering Order

Feature Overview

Catering orders often evolve as event details change — guests may add items, adjust quantities, change the event date, or update contact information. Staff with edit permissions can update any aspect of a catering order directly from the order detail page.

Prerequisites / Requirements

• Your account must have Catering edit permissions.
• The catering order must already exist. To create a new order, see Creating a New Catering Order.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. On the Catering page, click the order you want to update to open the order detail page.
2. On the order detail page, click the Edit option or button.
3. The order switches to edit mode, making all fields editable.
4. Update any relevant fields:
   • Items and quantities — add, remove, or adjust menu items
   • Pricing — update prices if negotiated or adjusted
   • Event date and time — change the scheduled date or service time
   • Customer notes — add or update special requirements or event details
5. Click Save to apply your changes.
6. The order detail page will reload reflecting the updated information.

Common Troubleshooting / FAQs

Q: I saved changes but the order still shows the old information when I return to it. Refresh the order detail page to load the latest saved data. If the old information persists after a refresh, verify that the Save button was clicked — unsaved changes are discarded if you navigate away without saving.

Q: I do not see an Edit option on the order detail page. Your account may only have Catering view permission. Contact your restaurant manager to request edit access if needed.
