You need to assign one or more menus for each store. You can also edit the characteristics of the active menus.

  1. Log in and go to the Tools dashboard.
  2. Select Stores .
  3. Click the Channel Menu tab.
  4. Select or enter information in the following fields:

    Table 2-3 Channel Menu Fields

    Field Description

    Channel

    Select Website.

    Menu

    Select the menu for this channel and order type.

    Order Type

    Select the order type: Collection (pickup) or Delivery.

    Date Effective From

    Select the starting date for the sales channel.

    Date Effective To

    Select the ending date for the sales channel.

    Accept Loyalty Card

    Select this option if the store uses the call center channel and accepts loyalty cards.

    Promise Time Mins

    Enter the amount of time needed to prepare each order.

    For example, for the default delivery provider, the time quoted to the guest for future orders is set as follows:

    • Promise Time Mins = 10

    • Order Time Start Offset Mins = 15

    In this example, the store opens at 11:00 a.m. The first available time in the drop-down list is 11:15 a.m. The Promise Time Mins value determines the increments in the drop-down list for delivery guests. In this example, the drop-down list increments in 10-minute intervals, so the next available time slot for delivery is 11:25 a.m.

    Last Order Time Mins

    Enter the amount of time before store closing that the last order can be taken on the website. For example, if the store closes at 10:00 p.m., and you set this value to 15, orders are accepted until 9:45 p.m.

    Last Order Warning Mins

    Enter the amount of time that is communicated to the guest prior to store closing. For example, if the store closes at 10:00 p.m., and you set this value to 30, guests receive a warning message about store closing after 9:30 p.m.

    Order Time Start Offset Mins

    Enter the offset time for the first orders of the day. For example, if the store opens at 11:00 a.m., it is unlikely that the store will be able to prepare an order for 11:00 a.m. If the offset value is 15 minutes, the first available time slot for a future order is 11:15 a.m.

    Order Time Interval Mins

    Enter the amount of time allocated between orders. For example, if an order is placed at 1:00 p.m. and the order time interval is 10 minutes, the next available time slot is 1:10 p.m.

    Min Order Value

    Enter the minimum amount required to place an order. For example, if the minimum order value is $5.00, a guest cannot check out and place an order unless the value of the order exceeds $5.00.

    Max Order Value

    Enter the maximum amount allowed for an order. For example, if the maximum order value is $100.00, a guest cannot check out and place an order that exceeds $100.00.
