Order Escalation Management Overview

The Lunchbox system has a built-in Order Escalation function that detects when orders are not accepted in a timely manner. Under the Order Escalations Tab, you can manage a list of individuals to receive email and/or text alerts when the order is escalated. If the order is not accepted within a predetermined time, a notification will be sent for each rule created until the order is accepted.
