Understanding each column

Each column of the table view represents a different piece of information about a check or order. This section explains each column and what you see in it. In most cases, the information has not changed from the previous order view.

Example of an order with each column heading

Check column

The check column displays the automatically-generated check number assigned to each new order. This information has not changed from the previous order view.

Type column

The Type column indicates the dining behavior for an order. The type column communicates the type of an order is being shown so employees know what information is required and what to expect when fulfilling the order.

The table view always displays the dining behavior configured to a dining option for each order. This does not replace dining options or the ability to set a dining option for an order.

For more information about dining options and dining behaviors, see this Toast Central article.

Guest / tab column

The Guest / tab column displays the tab name or the guest's name depending on which one is set for the order. The tab name takes priority over the guest's name.

The Toast platform checks the order in this sequence and stops at the first match:

1. Tab name exists? → Display the tab name

2. Guest name exists? → Display the guest's name

3. No data available → Column remains empty

Items column

Items displays a truncated list preview of the items in the order.

Due and paid columns

The due and paid columns refer to the order amount that is due, and whether or not the full amount has been paid. An icon will indicate whether the tab was paid with cash or card.

Status column

The status area indicates whether the order has been fired to the kitchen and if the check has been paid and closed. These statuses have not changed from the previous order view.

The following table shows the statuses of an order and examples of the way they appear in table view.

Status	Example
Scheduled
Started

Viewing delivery status

You can view the status of Toast Delivery Services orders in the check details panel.
