Dishes that need notice
Some dishes, such as a cake, need a day's notice. In Prebooking settings, limit prebooking to specific dishes, set the earliest booking time and the days they are made. A basket made only of those dishes must be scheduled, and everything else still orders as normal.

Choose the dishes and the notice
Step 1: Open Prebooking settings
Go to Settings → Ordering → Prebooking settings and make sure Enable Prebooking for Takeaway & Delivery is on. See Prebooking.
Step 2: Limit it to specific dishes
In the Applies to card, set Which orders can be prebooked to Specific items. Tick the dishes, using Search items… and the All and Picked buttons to find them.
Step 3: Set the notice
In Booking options, set Earliest booking time, for example 1 day. Customers then can't book these dishes for sooner.
Step 4: Set the days they are made
Under Only made on, pick the days these dishes are available. Leave it empty for any open day. Then press Save changes.
How it behaves
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| All items | Any order can be prebooked, whatever is in it. |
| Specific items | Only orders with the dishes you tick can be prebooked, like a cake that needs a day's notice. |
| Earliest booking time | How much notice the booking needs, in minutes, hours or days. |
| Only made on | The days these dishes are available. Empty means any open day. |
| The customer's basket | What happens |
|---|---|
| Only the dishes you ticked | The customer must pick a date and slot. Checkout says the dish needs its notice, and offers only dates that meet it. |
| A ticked dish plus other dishes | No scheduling is offered. Menuthere asks the customer to split the order, because these dishes must be ordered on their own. |
| No ticked dish | An ordinary order, with no picker. |
Questions
Can customers still buy a cake and a coffee together?
I can see an older notice with a Clear it link.
