Your online store opens and closes on its own schedule — it doesn't have to match the hours your dining room keeps.

This page is the weekly pattern. For day-to-day control — opening, pausing, and why the store says closed when it shouldn't — see Opening and pausing online orders.

Set your weekly hours

In Back Office, open Online Order and scroll to Your Online Order Schedules. There is one card per day.

  1. Tap + on a day to add a time slot.
  2. Set Start and End. Times are 24-hour, in five-minute steps — you can pick 11:25, not 11:23.
  3. Tap X beside a slot to remove it.
  4. Save.

A day with no slots is closed all day. That is how you say "we never take online orders on Mondays" — cleaner than setting hours you don't mean.

Two service windows in one day

Add a second slot: lunch 11:00–14:00, dinner 17:00–22:00. Customers see the store as open in both windows and closed in the gap, where the status reads Break until.

You don't have to enter slots in order — saving sorts them by start time.

Hours don't roll over midnight. A slot of 22:00–02:00 won't work; End has to be later the same day. If you serve past midnight, close at 23:59 and add a 00:00–02:00 slot on the next day.

Close for a holiday

Special hours override your weekly schedule for specific dates. Use them for a statutory holiday, a closure, or a day you're opening late — rather than editing your weekly hours and having to remember to put them back.

The weekly schedule should describe your normal pattern. One-off changes belong in special hours or in the daily toggle.

Letting customers order ahead

You can accept orders for a future date, up to 6 days ahead. It's off by default — the store takes same-day orders only until you turn it on.

Set a lead time as well, so nobody can order something for five minutes from now when the kitchen needs half an hour.

If a change hasn't appeared

Schedule changes reach the storefront within a few minutes. If you're editing minutes before opening, allow for that.
