Wix Restaurants: Preparing Your Menus for Online Ordering

Select During business hours to make your menu available for ordering during the hours you offer pickup or delivery. Then, click Save.

If your menu follows a recurring schedule (e.g weekend menu), selecting weekdays will gray out days you don't offer pickup or delivery.

2. Select Limit to certain weekdays and times.

3. Click the Edit icon

   

   next to Available hours.

4. Select the checkbox(es) next to the relevant day(s) and enter the available menu hours accordingly.

   Note: You can only select days and times with available pickup or delivery, as customers can't receive orders without a fulfillment method.

5. (Optional) Click the Add icon

   

   to add more than one timeframe (e.g. Monday 9 AM - 12 PM and 2 PM - 8 PM).

6. Click Apply.

7. Click Save to confirm.

Yes. Menu availability only affects when orders can be received, not their visibility on your site.

For example, A Sunday brunch menu is visible all week. If future orders are allowed, customers are prompted to select a Sunday pickup/delivery time. Otherwise, the menu is marked as unavailable during the week.

You can create another online ordering page for that holiday, allowing you to define separate settings for that menu while your regular pickup/delivery hours remain unchanged.

Menus can only be offered during your pickup or delivery hours, as orders cannot be received outside these times.

You can set specific availability for each menu to align with your regular pickup and delivery hours.

For example, if your hours are 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM, a menu cannot be set to start before 9:00 AM or end after 9:00 PM.

Every time a customer places an order on your site, you can see it in the Online Orders tab and the Orders tab in your dashboard.

The Online Orders tab is where you track the status of your orders. The order goes through 4 different statuses - Pending, Accepted, Ready, and Out for Delivery.

Note: The "Out for Delivery" status is only available if you offer deliveries.

In the Orders tab, you can find every order's details, including Your customer's order, contact details, notes, addresses, payment status, and more. This information is always available, even after the order has been fulfilled or canceled.

Yes, you can add service fees to cover operational costs, for example, or state regulation fees.

Yes. You can reorder your menus at any time to highlight your offerings and make it easier for diners to find what they want. Learn how to customize the menu page in your editor.

Yes. Add menus to each location and automatically display them on your site based on where customers are browsing.
