# Pre Order
To place a pre-order, you can easily enter the order details into the POS system, **including the desired collection or delivery time specified by the customer**. This order will then be displayed on the appropriate Kitchen Display System (KDS) when it is time to start preparing the food.
When entering the customer information, you can **adjust the time**.
1. Click on the **Time** option.
2. Select the appropriate **date and time**. Or you can also use the pre-set offsets from the current time.
3. Click **Save.**

Please note that the time should be entered in a **24-hour format**.
{% endhint %}
## Time Slots
The pre-order screen also shows you a list of **time slots for the selected day** with the corresponding **number of orders**. This helps staff easily visualize available ordering windows for the selected day. This supports better planning and ensures orders are spaced out in a manageable way, especially during busy periods.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bossithq.com/pos/order-creation/pre-order.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
