Fixed slots or rolling slots
Prebooking offers times in one of two styles. Fixed time ranges give the same set times, such as lunch and dinner, on the days you choose. Rolling slots count from now, so a customer can book a pickup 15 or 30 minutes ahead. Rolling slots are for today only.

Set From and to for the first slot. Press Add slot for more, for example lunch and dinner. Press the bin icon to remove one.
Use this when customers want food soon but not right now, such as pickup in half an hour.

Step 2: Note it is for today only
