How to Configure Dine-in Advance Booking Limits

Overview

Advance booking limits control how soon and how far into the future customers can schedule dine-in orders.

These settings help you manage the scheduling window offered on your restaurant's storefront.

Where to Find It

Go to Settings → Dine-in → Scheduling.

How to Set Advance Booking Limits

1. Open the Scheduling tab.
2. Enable Schedule Advance Orders.
3. Under Minimum time in advance, enter the minimum waiting time before a customer can schedule an order.
4. Select the appropriate unit for the minimum time, such as minutes, hours, or days.
5. Under Maximum time in advance, enter the maximum period for which customers can schedule orders.
6. Review both values to ensure they match your restaurant's requirements.
7. Click Save Scheduling.

Understanding the Settings

• Minimum time in advance: Sets the earliest point at which an order can be scheduled.
• Maximum time in advance: Sets the furthest point into the future that customers can schedule an order.
• Schedule Advance Orders: Must be enabled for customers to schedule future orders.

Example

Suppose you configure:

• Minimum time in advance: 30 minutes
• Maximum time in advance: 30 days

Customers can schedule orders at least 30 minutes ahead, with the scheduling window extending up to 30 days into the future, subject to available dine-in hours and time slots.

Important Notes

• The minimum and maximum advance times work together to define the scheduling window.
• Available slots are also affected by dine-in business hours and the other scheduling settings.
• If advance scheduling is disabled, customers cannot use the future-order scheduling feature.
• Check the storefront after saving to confirm that the scheduling options match your intended configuration.

Final Step

Click Save Scheduling to apply your changes.
