Address for delivery

Should this serving option require the customer to enter their exact address for delivery (this is the indication in the app that this serving option is a delivery serving option)

Delayed Pickup

• Same Day - can the customer choose a different time for the order later in the same day

• Prep Time - how long does it take on average to prepare the meal - will be used in order to calculate the next available delayed pickup time. - This is also the integer you need to set in order to change the intervals in delayed pickup menu.

• Future - can the customer order for the future - for a different day

• Future order buffer (0-30 by default) - The range of days allowed for future ordering

• Calculate time from: what hour of the day the system will calculate the days from. E.g. if in the future order buffer, we'll select up to 2 days, and the hour will be 10, the 2 days (48 hours) will be calculated starting 10am (instead of 0, hence midnight, as set by default)

Override Prep Time's Time Frames

This can be done by using the following parameter within your location: delayedOrderInterval

For example: if the interval is 20, the order will be for: 10:00, 10:20, 10:40, etc.

Time Frames

The time frames this serving option is available for ordering, outside of these time frames the customer will not be able to create an order with the specified serving option.

Copy Prices From Serving Option
