# How to add a pause between orders for a driver

This guide offers a quick overview of how to add a pause between orders for a driver.
---

**Introduction:**

Dropboy provides a feature to add a pause between orders for the driver. Adding a pause means taking a break for some time before moving on to the next trip. Let's learn how we can add a pause between orders.

|| **Remember:**
|| You cannot move pause between orders. You need to remove or create a new pause if you want a pause between other orders.
|| You can delete pauses.
|| Changing the sequence of orders won't shift the pause.
|| You can add multiple pauses between orders.

### Steps:

1. Open the web portal and log in.

# Example: Pause with a selected location during the creation of a pause.

|| If you create a pause with a location, it will be shown on the map, and the system will calculate the time separately when optimizing orders. Learn more about order optimization.

# Example: Pause without selecting a location during the creation of a pause.

|| If you add a pause without selecting a location, it won't be displayed on the map, and the time won't be considered separately during order optimization. Learn more about optimizing orders.
