BOG lunch preorder for party of 10

[TSM]

We are now able to preorder for our BOG lunch coming up. We are a party of 10 but 3 rooms, 3 families. When checking menu it states that if you preorder you can't do separate checks. Does that mean I would have to use 10 of my credits if they won't do separate checks?? I don't want to do that!!

Yes, it means you would be using 10 credits, or however many credits, plus cash-pay for the rest. But it would go on one band or card.

Yes. If you want to have the bill separated you use place three orders, and if you are all on one ADR you cannot. If you want to do this, do nto preorder. I missed this disclaimer and had to place the order all over again when we arrived, so thank goodness the problem was discovered before we sat down.

Thank you!!! That stinks!! Oh well, guess we will wait and order there!

It is quick! I would not worry unless you get behind the family who can't figure out the kiosk.

That will probably be my family!!! Haha!!!

I am the doubly whammy. If you see me, move to another line. I am behind "that" family, so you know we will be held up. And then, Lo and behold, I am "that" family too..... So usually a CM comes to the rescue....

I think pre-ordering is really worth it. Could you just pay cash and use the credits elsewhere? For example, one of the other families covers your lunch at BOG and you use your "saved" credits from that meal to pay for one of theirs at a different quick service?

You would still have the task of splitting the bill quickly and accurately at the time of payment (nearly impossible), or one person paying, then figuring up the bill and having the other folks paying you back.

BOG is one of the fastest QS restaurants IMO. Peo deign is fine, but if you cannot the wait is not bad. Not enough to make a lunch complicated.

I guess I don't see how this is difficult? We do it all the time. A lot of times, if we go out with friends and don't ask for seperate checks, someone doesn't have cash. At that point, they usually offer to just put it on their card and the other parties hand them cash. If two people don't have cash, someone offers to put it on their card and the other party either 1) picks up the tab later or 2) hits an ATM after the meal. It's not hard. The prices are all available at the time of pre-ordering, I'm pretty sure, so everyone can see their total as they order and even if you don't, there are plenty of places to find the prices for dividing later.

In my mind, Bob and Judy are dining with Joe and Carol. Bob and Judy have the dining plan and Joe and Carol don't. They order and Joe and Carol pay for the lunch. Bob and Judy pick up lunch later and that pays back Joe and Carol. That seems easy, to me.

We went to BoG for lunch with a party of seven and two separate rooms. We pre-orderrd and I arranged all of the dining credits so that one room used their credits for BOG and then the other room used their credits for a different meal. It was a little tricky to make sure we had enough credits on one room for this lunch, but we made it work.

Difficult? No. I think that if the sole reason for going through all this is to save a little time, BOG is not where I woudl put myself through it. They have come a long way since they first opened. The line moves fast and the food is out in a flash. I do not even bother preordering on a PPO breakfast.

I think that folks see a lot of posts that suggest you must preorder to save time, and that does, but if one must complicate their credits, I think it is just not worth the 10 minutes.

Glad to hear it's not that difficult to order when you get there. We aren't paying out of pocket really for any meals so I think we will just wait till we get there. Thanks for the advice!
