# Creating Order Types for Catering Menu

## How to create order types for catering

When you are setting up catering, you can set up order types specific to your catering menu. This allows you to have different requirements, fees and hours from your regular menu.

To do this:

1. Log into the [dashboard](https://dashboard.hazlnut.com/?_gl=1*1965d7d*_gcl_au*MTUwMzA1MTk4LjE3NTE0ODU0NTU.).  Go to the upper righthand menu and select Order Type.

2. Select the location.

3. Select Create New underneath the list of existing order types

4. You can create catering pickup and/or delivery order types.  You can have  descriptions explaining any requirements for catering (how far in advance).  You can also set an order fee (ex. delivery fee)  If your catering hours are different than your normal pickup/delivery hours you can create a separate hour set and tie it to the order type here.
