The right products at the right time of day.
Two related tools. Daypart hides or shows menu categories by time of day and day of week — the breakfast menu disappears at 11am, the lunch combos appear at 11:30, the Friday-night specials wake up at 5pm. Time Slot adds a date or time picker at checkout so customers schedule their delivery or pickup, with the dates and weekdays you can actually serve. No more updating the storefront twice a day.
What it does
Daypart is a storefront-side rule: define a time window (start time, end time, days of week), assign categories to one or more windows, and the storefront shows or hides those categories based on the current time. Customers can't add items from a closed daypart, and order submission is blocked if a daypart closes mid-checkout. Time Slot is a checkout-side picker: enable it for delivery, pickup, or both; pick a picker style (date, time, date+time, predefined slots, same-day slots, date range, multiple dates); set start/end dates, blocked weekdays and individual dates, plus lead time and cut-off rules. Customers see only the slots you've made available.
Who it's for
Restaurants and cafés (breakfast/lunch/dinner menus). Bakeries taking custom-cake pre-orders three days out. Bars rotating happy-hour pricing. Florists with Mother's Day delivery slots. Clinics with different consult types in different windows. Anyone whose offering changes by time of day, or whose fulfilment can't accept "any time".
How it works
- For Daypart: enable Daypart Menus in Settings > Apps, define each time window (e.g. Breakfast 07:00-11:00 Mon-Fri), then assign categories to one or more dayparts (with optional extra weekday restrictions).
- For Time Slot: open Settings > Time Slot, pick where the picker shows (delivery, pickup, or both) and the picker style (date, time, predefined slots, etc.), then set start/end dates, disabled weekdays and specific dates, lead time, and a daily cut-off.
- Both run in your storefront's configured time zone. Daypart updates instantly on save and applies on the storefront only; Time Slot shows as a checkout step for the selected order types.
When to use it
Use Daypart whenever the same catalog rotates between time-of-day menus or weekday-specific items. Use Time Slot the moment your fulfilment depends on prep time, pickup windows, or staffing rotas. They work alongside each other but resolve time differently — Daypart uses the visitor's current time, Time Slot uses the customer-chosen fulfilment date.
Frequently asked questions
Does Daypart respect time zones?
Yes — both Daypart and Time Slot run in your storefront's configured time zone. A customer browsing from another country sees your local schedule.
Can I block specific dates (holidays, vacations)?
Yes — Time Slot lets you disable specific weekdays and individual dates from the calendar so customers can't pick them at checkout. Daypart itself doesn't have date-range windows; for a season-only menu (e.g. Hari Raya), the workaround is to keep those categories hidden by default and toggle them active for the run.
Does Daypart affect my POS?
No. Daypart controls storefront visibility only — your POS still shows every category regardless of the current time, so a cashier can ring up the breakfast set at any hour. If your operations need the POS to also respect a daypart, that's a manual decision today.
Will the storefront show "back at 5pm" when a daypart is closed?
No — items outside their daypart window simply hide. A customer who tries to add a hidden item from a stale page sees "This item is not available at this time." If you want a teaser, drop the menu schedule into your storefront footer or About page.
How do Daypart and Time Slot work together for pre-orders?
Daypart checks the visitor's current time, not the scheduled fulfilment date — so a customer browsing at 10am for a 7pm pickup sees the 10am menu, not the 7pm one. Time Slot, by contrast, locks customers to your delivery or pickup windows for their chosen date. If your menu varies sharply by daypart and pre-orders are common, communicate the constraint clearly or skip Daypart on the pre-order flow.
