#### External Sales Posting

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: Maitre'D accepts Carry Out orders as well as Delivery orders with the same delivery employee by reading a 'PickUp' tag to the XML order file. The system uses the workstation and employee setup in Delivery / View / Options / Pre-Order, but ignores the Pick Up Mode option in P.O.S. Control / Employee / Configuration / Delivery.

Maitre'D also accepts an employee with the Order function. Use this to interface with kiosks. The workstation setup in Delivery / View / Options / Pre-Order is used, but it ignores the Employee setup in the same area.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.maitredpos.com/maitred/maitred-complete-online-documentation/chap-17-converter/tools/external-sales-posting/waiter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
