	Scheduled Orders do not re-park after being processed, causes errors, mayhem, and eventually we run out of locations for web orders.	Includes advance orders, takeout orders and web orders. NOPE per Tony What does this mean? "Scheduled Orders do not re-park after being processed" - Tony doesn't know Checks can be opened from search; no longer need to go to location. scheduler will submit and process order on location, even if location in use. No need for multiple locations. One or two should suffice to allow more than one check to be opened and addressed. Majority of WOAPI users won’t need the Area setting: Finalize when sent to kitchen. Unclear why not needed. DONE Advance Orders - Updated to include new screenshots, revised text, (30 days, customer optional, can open w/o location Not done: Check search - Doc is long and focuses on screen components; needs to be updated.
