Order Notifications

There are 3 types of order notifications that can be managed in the Order Queue:

1. Sound Notifications
2. Customer Notifications
3. Internal Notifications
   
   

Sound Notifications

• Incoming orders in the Buddi Queue trigger a sound notification by default. Sound cannot be turned off in Buddi, but you can choose to mute the sound in your web browser settings.
  
  
• Pending or unread orders play a sound every 5 minutes.
  • To turn this feature ON/OFF, go to the Admin Portal > Order Queue > 'Notification Settings' (bell icon).
    
    

Sound not working?

• Troubleshooting Steps:
  • Ensure audio settings are configured properly with the volume turned up.
  • Close the web browser/app completely. Re-open it.
  • Try using a different web browser.
  • Check for software updates in the POS/hardware device and web browser.
  • Restart the device to refresh system processes.
  • Check if the device can produce sound with other applications or functions.

Customer Notifications

• A message is sent to the customer (via SMS text/email) when the order status gets updated in the queue listing.
  
  
• These order statuses trigger customer notifications:
  • Order Confirmation
  • Order Ready for Pickup
  • Out for Delivery
  • Order Cancelled
  • Refund
