When adding items to an existing check can you specify a location?
When you use the API to add items to an existing check for Dine In, is it possible to send a location using the Table object or some other way?
The use case here is that I want to be able to add items to an existing check, which may not be at a specific table, and send some type of location on the ticket so the staff knows where to deliver those items. This would be for Dine In orders.

Hi Parag,
When you make a POST request to add items to an existing check, you can not include a table in your POST request.
When you Add items to a check, you are adding items to the checks.selection object; Toast will reject your POST request if you try to include a table because the Table object can not be within the Checks object. Here is an example JSON POST request when including a table:
More information is here in our API Documentation on how to add a table to an order.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,
John

John Duggan thanks for your help on this. I know how to create an order with a Table object, however, what I am trying to achieve is adding additional items to the same check that opened in the first Order POST call and send a new Table object. Is this possible?
For example, John Smith walks into a restaurant and places an order on Table 5 (pretty straightforward with API) and leaves the check open. He then adds additional items 30 minutes later to the same check but this time wants the food to be sent to Table 14. Is this possible?

Hi Parag Shah ,
No that is not possible. In my comment above, when adding items to an existing check, you can not include a table in your POST request. When you Add items to a check, you are adding items to the checks.selection object; Toast will reject your POST request if you try to include a table because the Table object can not be within the Checks object.
Best,
John

Thanks for clarifying John Duggan. I think I found a workaround for this but is there a way you can add this to the feature request? Quite a few venues asking for this currently.
