This section provides guidance for successfully integrating the Aloha POS with Aloha Takeout. As you go through the processes, you may find some requirements are already active in your current database, or may not be relevant to your site. For example, if you already have a 'Takeout' queue, or if you do not offer a delivery service, you do not need to configure these.
