Local Zest Catering Hours & Scheduling
Hours & scheduling module

Set valid fulfillment windows without blocking customers from placing future orders at any hour.

This page is built around your scheduled-order model. Restaurants stay visible, customers can place future orders 24/7, and these settings control the delivery and pickup time windows that are actually allowed.

Key rule
Order placement time and fulfillment time are different. Customers can place future orders anytime.
Platform behavior
Restaurant may be closed now, but still visible with a message like “Closed now — future orders available.”

Master scheduling controls

These switches control whether the restaurant can accept immediate orders, future scheduled orders, and how the customer should experience the restaurant when it is currently closed.

Accept Future Orders Allow customers to place scheduled orders 24/7 for future valid time slots.
Accept Same-Day Orders Allow same-day scheduling when the requested time fits operating hours and lead times.
Show Restaurant When Closed Now Keep restaurant visible even when currently closed, with future ordering still available.
Enable Pickup Scheduling Allow customers to schedule pickup using the same future-order logic.
