Orders aren't Removed Automatically
All the expired take-away orders are automatically considered as REMOVED, but they will have PENDING status until someone will try to book a new order.
The Keep Orders Locked setting is used to calculate if a take-away order is available for reservation or not. In case you are using the program with a Deposit to be left, the saved order will have a certain Status (given by the configuration of the payment method chosen). When the Status is Pending, it means that the order needs to be paid (or accepted manually from the administrator section) in order to become Confirmed. This setting defines the number of minutes for which the system should keep the order of a Pending Reservation as "locked".
