Auto-Close Orders at End of Day Settings

nbunda — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:42:00 GMT

Can anyone who has used this setting to either void or close out open orders to a system payment type give any feedback on it? I'm curious if it also closes *scheduled* future orders, which would be a huge issue. Also, if you do turn the setting on, does it go to a special payment type or an existing one of your choice? How does it look in reporting?

Thank you for any and all feedback.

Didn't even know such setting exists! Thanks for sharing!

I didn't know this existed either. Here's an article from Toast Central, but it doesn't address scheduled future orders.

Hi - I'm not completely sure about this but - I have it set to "Auto Close" the default method and I had once scheduled an order, it was paid and in the system to fire the morning of, 2 nights later it fired automatically. Not sure if that helps or means anything. Maybe I can't schedule orders to fire 2+ days away

Thanks for your reply! I guess my question is specific to *unpaid/open* scheduled orders. This happens a lot with catering orders taken over the phone. The guest typically pays upon pickup, 2-3 days after the order is placed and scheduled in the register.

Yeah I had seen that article. It does say it only affects orders for that day, but unfortunately the follow-up only mentions that *past* days aren't affected. No mention of future orders has me shaky!
