You can set the minimum waiting times here. e.g. if you select 30 mins as your "No sooner than" time, with 10 min increments, customers can only start selecting their pickup time 30 mins from the time they pay, or in 10 minute blocks from there.

    • No later than - Set the maximum time a customer can order ahead of time. You can keep it short by setting a max time of an hour or less, or if you're capturing orders early for the lunch rush, you can set it up to 4 hours.
