How it works
When your customer places an order, an emailed receipt is always sent to the email address used to register their account on the app or the email address entered at check-out. With order tracking turned on, it will include a link to track the status of their order.
Order tracking allows you to update your customer on the status of their order.
- Order Received/Order Placed (automatically generates when your PoS receives the order information)
- Making Your Order/Preparing Your Order (the kitchen is preparing the order)
- Queued for Driver/Finishing Touches (driver is on their way or you're packing up the food)
- Out for Delivery/Ready for Pickup (order is on the way or ready to be in the customers hands)
- Special Note: __________ (if you ran out of an ingredient, driver encountered traffic, or are taking longer than usual to prepare the order)
How do I turn it on?

Text Message Order Status Updates
For 3.5¢ per text message, we can also set up your business to send order status updates via text to the phone number customers enter at check-out if they opt-in to receive texts (see below).
The texts will be sent only to the number they enter at check-out and only if they opt-in
If you would like to change what these messages say:
- On the Hazlnut dashboard, go to your Settings and click on 'Advanced'
- If you have multiple locations, make sure the correct one is selected on the top left
- Click on the 'Order Tracking Status' button to add/edit tracking status messages
- Here, you can edit existing status messages, re-order, delete and add tracking statuses
We recommend you can have between 2-5 statuses
Your pickup and delivery order types will show different messages:
Delivery & custom delivery order types
Pickup, Curbside and non-delivery custom order types
