Cancel (void) an order
Void a live order with a reason — what happens to the kitchen ticket, the bill and the stock.
How to cancel
- Admin console → Orders → the order → Cancel.
- Enter the reason ("Wrong items", "Guest left") — it is recorded against your account.
- The order becomes Cancelled; its kitchen ticket stops being actionable.
Note
Cancel needs the order-void permission — owners, managers and cashiers have it; waiters do not.
What happens to stock
Stock deducts when an order is accepted, and a cancelled order restocks its ingredients — the inventory ledger shows the reversal, so the numbers stay honest.
What NOT to do
Do not
- Do not cancel an order to fix a payment problem — payment and order state are separate; cancelling a paid order does not refund it (see Payment failed).
- Do not cancel orders that were cooked and eaten to make a table clear — the bill still needs settling.
