# Adding Order

### Overview

FoodBucket has keenly developed the workflow of adding an order to bring ease to your restaurant operations. The user-Interface of the POS is clear, clean, and self-explanatory.

You can add an order according to order type that includes dine-in orders, delivery orders,s or takeaway orders. This segregation will help you identify the offer and accelerate the whole process.
