Is there a way to limit item or category availability depending on time of day? ex. Breakfast

For online ordering, there needs to be a feature that allows restaurants to limit the availability of certain items depending on the time of day. For example, if your breakfast menu is only available until 3pm, there needs to be an option to make these items unavailable after 3pm.

Hi @Troop52 and welcome to the Community.

 

I moved your post to an existing thread that goes over changing your available pickup times/dates.

 

There's not a way to remove that text but you can update the available times that customers can pick up your orders.

Hi there! The Time-Based Categories function, at least in its current state, does not actually solve this problem.

 

As you can see from the additional requests for this feature, and the comments on Time-Based Categories function announcement, it is a first step but does not come close to solving the issue.

 

When a Category is available "only during certain days and times" it is not available for pre-order outside of that availability window. Like many restaurants, we have two distinct menus (morning and afternoon), but people OFTEN pre-order for pickup. So, they'll be placing an order for Saturday morning on Friday night, etc. As of right now, we have to manually change our menus twice a day, which is obviously unsustainable.

 

I am seriously considering moving our Online Store to a different platform (such as ChowNow) that has this functionality, as it has become such a frustrating issue. Is there any update on this becoming available through Square/Weebly?
