Square online for takeouts

I had set up my online store for takeouts and it was great and simple. I had it set up for one day a week, one item which changes every Monday. Customers can take their time to order throughout the week with food deliveries on Mondays. We are expanding and we'll continue the initial day in the same format. Our expansion will take us to 2 more days where customers can order in additional days with pre-set menus in 2 more days. I can see how to set the categories and schedule the extra days/times we want that are only available for these new days. I have no problem with that.

 

My problem is if there is a way to leave my Monday menu available so customers can still pre-order for my Monday selection any time they want but it will show Monday as the only time they can order for their pickup? I want customers to pre-order at any time but the order should only allow them to pick on my Monday time frame for pickup. The other menu, namely Tuesday and Friday, will have a set, non-changing menu so people can order on Tuesdays and Fridays. My reason for the Monday menu is that is a special menu that will only be ordered ahead of time and for delivery on Mondays only. Basically it will be a pre-order that needs to be available all the time so customers can do so, while the others are standard items.

 

Any ideas how I can do this?

Hi @obarron That should work if you use a time-based category that is only available on Tues and Fri (but not Monday), but then only have your pickup hours available on Monday as before. 

 

You may want to consider allowing order scheduling so customers can pick up their orders at certain times, but of course that is always up to you. 🙂
