How do I set a cut-off time for next-day WhatsApp orders?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
Pick one cut-off time, such as 8 pm for the next day, and tell customers in your welcome message and menu. Answer late orders with the next free slot.
- Choose a time you can keep every day, and write it where customers look: profile, welcome message and menu.
- Reply to late orders kindly and offer the next free day or slot instead of accepting what you cannot cook.
- Confirm every next-day order in writing with the day, time and total.
- Remind the customer of the cut-off in your order confirmation, so they plan next time.
- Change the cut-off only for festivals or busy days, and announce it early.
Next-day and slot orders without the chat
Customers pick a later date or time when they order on your Menuthere link, so next-day orders arrive in your dashboard without back-and-forth.
