Wix Restaurants: Allowing Customers to Place Orders for a Future Date

Important:

• This article is about the original Restaurants Orders app.

• We've released a new online ordering app. Learn how to add and set up the new Wix Restaurants Orders (New) app.

You can give customers the option of placing orders a few hours or days before the delivery time. For example, a bakery needs a few days notice in order to bake and decorate a birthday or a wedding cake. You can set a minimum time in advance (e.g. 3 days) that customers need to book in order to get their order delivered when they want it.
