You work with online orders in the POS app. When an order reaches the download threshold time limit, the Silver host releases the order to the POS app. For takeout orders, the download threshold time limit is 30 minutes, and for delivery orders, the limit is 60 minutes. For example, if the target time for a takeout order is 11:45, the Silver host sends the order to the POS app at 11:15.
The POS app requires an Internet connection to receive online orders when they reach the download threshold limit. Without an Internet connection, the POS app cannot receive the online orders.
If necessary, you can pull an online order to the iPad that has not yet downloaded to the iPad, rather than waiting for the order to reach the threshold time limit.
When the POS app receives an online order from the Silver host, the configured printer prints a kitchen chit, identifying the order as an online order, and the following information:
You complete online orders from the takeout and delivery queue of the POS app. You complete the orders the same as you would a normal takeout and delivery order, except with online orders, the customer may have already paid for the order. If the customer paid for the order online, the tender type appears as ONLINE on the guest check, includes the amount paid, and indicates an amount due, if any.
In some instances, such as a same day order for later in the day, you may wish to pull an online order to the iPad for processing. Although you can view future day orders, you can only pull same day online orders.
NCR Silver Pro Restaurant enables you to accept future day online orders. When the customer elects to pay in the store, the system manages these future day orders as it does same day orders. The system holds the order until it meets the download time threshold limit, and then it sends the order to the POS app.
When the customer pays online for a future day order, Silver Pro Restaurant handles the order as follows:
In some scenarios, you may need to cancel an online order once the system downloads it into the POS app.
When you void an order for which a customer paid online, this can create a financial reconciliation discrepancy between the online ordering system and the Silver host.

Completing Online Orders

Completing Future Day Online Orders
NCR Silver Pro Restaurant enables you to accept future day online orders. When the customer elects to pay in the store, the system manages these future day orders as it does same day orders. The system holds the order until it meets the download time threshold limit, and then it sends the order to the POS app.
When the customer pays online for a future day order, Silver Pro Restaurant handles the order as follows:
- The system creates two separate tickets on the Silver host.
- The first ticket is for the business date on which the customer placed the order. This ticket contains only one line item representing the pre-payment with a positive amount and a payment record for the amount. The receipt displays ‘ONLINE’ as the payment type and the POS Transactions Payments description is ’Pre-Payment.’
- The system then creates a second ticket for the order due date. The second ticket contains the actual line items ordered by the customer. The receipt reflects the tender type as ‘PPD-ONLINE’ and the POS Transactions Payments description is ‘Prepaid.’
- On the Store Summary report, ONLINE represent an actual payment whereas PPD-ONLINE is the application of a previous payment to the ticket.
Voiding an Online Order
In some scenarios, you may need to cancel an online order once the system downloads it into the POS app.
When you void an order for which a customer paid online, this can create a financial reconciliation discrepancy between the online ordering system and the Silver host.
-
Select the order from the Takeout and Delivery queue. The guest check screen appears.
-
Tap Void Ticket. A prompt appears.
-
Tap Yes. If your user role does not allow you to void the ticket, the ‘Supervisor’s approval needed’ screen appears, and a manager must enter their four-digit PIN to void the ticket.
The system returns to the Takeout and Delivery queue.
