# Making a dine in order

To make a new dine in order, tap 'New dine in table' from the Home screen.

![Make a new Dine in order](/files/TqGrAkdyyE8Bn5wJ98LP)

The system will ask you to choose a table number. Available tables are white, occupied tables are red and cannot be added. Tap anywhere on the screen or 'cancel' to add items to the order without inputting a table number or covers, but you do have to choose both before the order can be placed.

Next, the system asks you to enter the number of covers.

![Enter the number of covers and tap Confirm](/files/FSBAnJ0gd2mUJx8XQ15r)

Now your menu will be displayed. Categories are displayed at the top from the first active menu. To change the menu, tap 'Change menu' at the top of the screen.

Choose a category, the tags for the category will appear below. Choose a tag to filter the category and tap the category again to remove the filter.

Add items to the order. For items with modifiers, the modifiers will appear when the item is tapped. Select a modifier or tap 'Confirm' if no modifiers are required.

For items with allergens, the allergens will appear in the modifier box. For items with allergens but no modifiers, hold the item to see the allergens assigned to it. You can quickly see if an item has modifiers and allergens by looking for the relevant icon in the bottom left of the item box. '+' means the item has modifiers, '!' means the item has allergens.

Continue to add items to the order. Swipe an item from right to left to change the modifiers, add notes, change the quantity or delete the item.

![Swiping an item reveals additional actions](/files/PCMRzSqi7ptH1ziZPr0B)

Adding notes can be useful if the customer makes a special request. Notes are displayed in the kitchen or bar and also on the printed tickets and receipts.

![Add a note to an item](/files/urTbULQZA6OcxOsmpU7c)

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have more than one of the same item in the order, the system will ask if you want to change all of them, or just one
{% endhint %}

Once you have added all the items to the order, either make a payment or tap 'Place order' to create the order for future payment.

![Orders can be paid immediately or sent for payment later](/files/594ambyOXoxYJw4fNsRk)

{% hint style="info" %}
Once the order is placed, the system will return to the Home screen
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.accentpos.com/features/orders/dine-in-orders/making-a-dine-in-order.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
