Menu Category Time Settings

Menu Category Time Settings

You can control when certain menu categories appear on your online ordering menu by setting display times. This is helpful for items that are only available during certain hours, such as lunch menus, happy hour drinks, or dinner-only items.


For example, if a category like Breakfast is set to display between 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM, it will only be visible to customers during that time. Outside of those hours, the category will be hidden automatically.


If a category does not have any time settings applied, it will remain visible at all times.


How to set display times for a category

  1. Go to Menus > Online Ordering Menus and open the menu you want to update.

  2. Edit the category you would like to control.

  3. Click Add Time Setting.

  4. Enter the day, start time, and end time for when the category should be shown.

  5. Repeat the steps above if you need to add multiple time ranges.

  6. Click Save.

Once saved, the category will only appear on the online store during the selected times.
