Order Ahead Rules

Some menu items take longer to prepare than others. Order Ahead Rules lets you add extra advance notice to selected restaurant items while keeping ordinary items available under your normal ordering schedule. Set a custom cake to require 48 hours, a catering platter to require 72 hours, and leave everyday items unchanged. When a customer selects a pickup or delivery time that is too soon for a controlled item, the app asks them to choose a later time before completing checkout. The longest required notice applies when an order contains several controlled items. Manage rules from your site dashboard. The Free plan includes 1 active rule; Pro includes unlimited active rules, subject to ordinary platform limits. Designed for Restaurants Orders (New) and Restaurants Menus (New).
