You can using existing fulfilment modes including pickup or delivery

View active, scheduled, completed and unsuccessful orders
Staff can filter by date, status, customer, payment, or sales rep, and search for specific orders in seconds
Prep lead-time moves orders automatically from scheduled to active based on the time set
Timed alerts, and exportable reports help teams stay ahead of busy periods

More Payment Options
Along with cash, card, wallet and brandollars, the enhanced POS module also supports:
Pay in full at the time of order (cash, card, EFTPOS)
Credit Account for approved corporate clients, enabling streamlined invoicing
