FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI cancel an order for me?

    No. The AI can only read order data. You must use your GoTab POS or kitchen display to modify or cancel orders.

  • 02

    Can I see orders from last week?

    Yes, as long as those orders are still available in your GoTab transaction history for the AI to pull.

  • 03

    Does the AI update my kitchen display?

    No. The AI is a read-only connection. It can tell you what is on the screen, but it cannot change what the chefs see.

  • 04

    Can I monitor multiple restaurants at once?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to compare order volumes across all locations found in your account.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which location to check?

    It uses the location list to identify your sites, then you specify which one you want to look at in your prompt.
