Welcome to another section of our Online Menu Guide! In this part, we will explore the custom schedule feature for your menu items. We recommend reviewing our [General Menu Guide], which covers key setup steps in the Admin Panel.
Custom Schedule

We offer a Custom Schedule feature that enables you to configure the availability of menu items on your restaurant's website. This feature lets you specify particular days and times when specific menu items/categories should be displayed. For instance, you can set your Lunch Menu to be showcased on the website exclusively from Monday to Friday, between 8 AM and 12 PM. This feature also prevents orders for lunch items after 3 PM when they're no longer available.
