Item Availability:
★ Use this on larger catering platters that require 24 hours (next day) or 48 hours (after 2 days) notice. That way, you can guarantee all catering orders are placed far enough in advance.
- From the Menu Items tab
- Click ‘Modify’ next to your catering item
- Change the 'availability' to require advanced notice or for items only available on certain days (everyday is the default)
- This item will show on the menu 24/7
- "After _ Days" will be the amount of notice required to prepare the order
- The day availability will affect the available pickup day
- Click 'Save'
All items with special day availability will be treated as catering and will print immediately
If items are added to the cart with different advanced notice setting, the soonest available "Ready At" time will respect the longest required notice.
If several items have different weekday availabilities, an error notification will appear to let them know there are conflicting items in the cart.
Recommended to add a disclaimer in the item description to reduce the number of customers who realize too late that their first available pickup day & time is affected by this item.
Catering Link & Button
Now, from the 'Locations' page you can grab your catering link and online ordering link to post to your website and share with your customers!
The catering button will automatically appear on the app once the catering categories are set to display online, 'Is Catering?' is turned on, and all available items inside these categories are set to show online.
