How to Manage In-House Deliveries

How to Manage In-House Deliveries

If your restaurant has its own delivery staff, you can manage your delivery orders directly from LastPOS. Here's how to do it:

What does Delivery Management allow?

  • Track the status of delivery orders

  • Assign orders to your delivery drivers

  • Generate delivery reports and track delivery times


Track the Status of Delivery Orders

From LastPOS, access the "Delivery View" to monitor all active delivery orders and their current status. To access this view, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the Delivery section.


Once inside the Delivery View, you can select any order to review or update its current status. The possible statuses are:

  • Kitchen: The default state when the order is sent to the kitchen. The preparation timer starts counting from 00:00.

  • Ready for Pickup: The order is prepared and ready to be picked up by a driver.

  • Out for Delivery: The order has been picked up and is en route to the customer.

  • Delivered: Once the driver returns and marks the order as delivered, the system will automatically close the account assuming it has been paid.



Assign Orders to Delivery Drivers Manually

Once an order is Ready for Pickup, you can change its status to Out for Delivery and assign it to a specific driver.

  1. Select the order.

  2. Tap “Out for Delivery”.

  3. Choose the driver and tap Assign.



You’ll then see:
  • Which driver is assigned to each delivery.

  • How long each order has spent in each status. 

You can also assign multiple orders to the same driver. Just repeat the steps and select the same driver for each additional order.

Assign Orders Using Barcodes

To use barcode scanning, you'll need a barcode scanner connected to the device running the Delivery View:

  • For tablets: use a Bluetooth scanner.

  • For desktop devices: use a USB scanner.

  • You may also use apps that simulate barcode input, although these can be unreliable.

How to Manage Orders via Barcode Scanning:

  1. Connect the scanner to your device.

  2. Scan the order barcode (located at the bottom of the printed order ticket) to update its status:

    • Kitchen: Starts automatically when the order is sent to the kitchen.

    • Ready for Pickup: Scan the order barcode to change its status.

    • Out for Delivery: Scan the order barcode, then scan the driver's barcode to assign the delivery.

    • Delivered (Closed): Scan the driver’s barcode, then the "Close Order" barcode to close all their assigned orders.
      To close one specific order: scan that order's barcode and then the "Close Order" barcode.

Examples:

  • Printed order ticket with a barcode



  • Driver barcode cards




Generate Delivery and Time Reports

To view driver reports:

  1. Open the menu in the top right corner of the POS.


  2. Select “Couriers Report”.


You’ll see:

  • Which orders each driver is assigned

  • Total amounts collected, broken down by payment method

  • Which deliveries are still pending and which are completed


The report can be printed and includes the option to "Reset" a driver, removing their assigned orders for the current shift. All historical data will remain accessible in the Admin Panel reports.
