    <title>thread Need a creative solution for restaurant pre-orders in Orders, Menu Items, Catalog &amp; Fulfilment</title>
    <link>https://community.squareup.com/t5/Orders-Menu-Items-Catalog/Need-a-creative-solution-for-restaurant-pre-orders/m-p/191359#M16335</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;We have a unique sales model in that we have a subset of entree offerings each day, available for pre-order. No two days are the same, and the hours differ each week, so it's hard to set standards. Customers need to&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;pre-order&lt;/STRONG&gt; for pickup or delivery so that we can plan for that day.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What's the best way to handle this with square? We started to use modifiers to let the consumer select a pickup time, but the square confirmation email with default pick-up times confuses the customer. If we switch to shipping as the delivery method, tipping becomes tricky.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyone else solve for a situation similar to this already?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
