This setting impacts when customers can place orders and determines whether next-day ordering (including delivery) is permitted.

The After Hours Ordering feature allows customers to place orders for the next business day when the store is closed. This provides flexibility by enabling customers to schedule future orders even outside regular hours.

Example: If a customer places an order at 8:57am (before the store opens at 9:00am), the system still allows them to place an order if this setting is enabled.

Enabling Next-Day Orders: Ensure the 'After Hours Ordering' toggle is turned ON to let customers order for the next day even when the store is closed.
​
The following message will be shown on your menu if After Hours Ordering is enabled:

Restricting Orders to Same-Day Only: If you prefer limiting orders to same-day only, turn the 'After Hours Ordering' toggle OFF. This prevents customers from scheduling orders outside business hours for future dates.
