| Auto-approve orders | When enabled, online orders will not require store approval. NOTE: The store will still need to send the order to the kitchen (if equipped with kitchen printers). |
| Minimum/Maximum Prep Time | These times are used to provide your customer an estimated time for the order to be ready for pickup. |
| Use dynamic order throttling | Enables feature to adjust order ready time based on number of open orders. |
| Average Order Time | With Dynamic Order Throttling enabled, average order time is used to estimate the earliest the customer's order will be ready. |
| Maximum Open Orders | With Dynamic Order Throttling enabled, this is the maximum number of orders the system will allow to be open before preventing new orders to be placed. NOTE: The open order count includes orders placed in-the-restaurant in addition to online orders. |
Order Types
At least one order type must be enabled. Use the drop-down menu to select an order type that should be allowed to order online, then enable one or both of 'Pre-pay Online' or 'Pay In Store'. To enable a second order-type for online ordering, simply select another order type and choose a payment option. Selecting either payment options enables the order-type for the online ordering cart.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Pre-pay Online | Allows customers to pay online for their order. This typically requires a separate processing account specifically for your Online Store depending on your card processors policies. |
| Pay In Store | Orders placed online can be paid online through the register app, same as all other orders. |
| Minimum Order Amount | Order total may not be below this value. |
| Maximum Order Amount | Order total may not be above this value. This prevents customers 'spamming' the store with the largest possible order. |
