The Event Fields allows you to add optional or mandatory fields for your Customers to respond to. It is most useful for caterers that are catering events or in a campus environment.
You can list when an Order should be ready in the kitchen (Kitchen Ready Time), when to clean up after an event finishes (Clean Up Time), and allow Customers to enter a name for this Event (Event Name). An Event Name will also show up in the Calendar Module so that you can identify Orders by the name, rather than the Order Number.
