Similar to Delivery Settings, Pick Up allows you to define your options for pick up orders. On this screen, you can specify if you accept pick up orders as soon as possible (ASAP), as well as configure your scheduled ordering options.
Time Slots is the interval of time a customer can place an order for pick up. For example, if you specify 15 minutes, then a customer can place an order at every 15 minute interval in an hour such as 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, etc. If you specify 45 minute intervals, then every open time slot for accepting pick up orders will be spaced at 45 minute intervals.
Order Prep Time defines how much time your staff is required to prepare orders for pickup. This setting is used to prevent orders when time slots are full. For example, if you specify 30 minutes, this means that a customer must place their order for a scheduled time slot with at least 30 minutes advance notice so that your staff will have time to prepare the order and have it ready for the specified pickup time.
Orders per timeslot allows you to set the maximum number of orders that can be placed in each timeslot to control the flow of your pick up orders. For example, if you specify a maximum of five (5) orders per time slot; this means that every time slot can only accept five customer orders. If a sixth order is attempted to be placed for a time slot that already has received five orders, the customer for that sixth order will not be able to finalize the order.
Advance Ordering allows you to set how many calendar days in advance customers can place an advance order. For example, if you set a value of 2 days, this means that a customer can place an order with your store two days in advance. Please note that this option can be set for up to three (3) days.
After Hours Ordering allows you to set when your store can receive orders if the store is currently closed.
Payment Methods Display to Customer allows you to specify what types of payment methods are accepted. Currently you can specify Pay at the Store or Pay Online.
