Step by step

Everything said in the video, in order.

The Availability screenat 0:00

  1. This is Availability. It decides when customers can order from you, and when they get their food.
  2. At the top is your store status. Open for orders means customers can order right now.
  3. This week shows your next cooking day, when its orders close, and how many orders you have so far.

Cooking days and cut-offsat 0:18

  1. Cooking days are the days your food is ready. Tap a day to add it. Let's add Friday.
  2. Each cooking day has a cut-off: the moment its orders close. Choose the day and the time. Here, orders for Friday close on Thursday at six in the evening.
  3. After the cut-off, customers can no longer order or cancel for that day. So you know exactly what to shop for and cook.

Pickup and delivery timesat 0:41

  1. Pickup and delivery times are offered on every cooking day. Customers choose one at checkout.
  2. For each time, tick what it is used for: pickup, your own delivery, or courier.
  3. Max orders is how many orders one time can take. When it is full, customers see that, and choose another time.
  4. Tap Add a time for another one. Then set its hours, and how many orders it can take.

Limitsat 1:07

  1. Under Limits, Max orders per day closes ordering for a day once that many orders are in.
  2. Minimum order is the least a customer must spend on food. Enter zero for no minimum.

Time offat 1:20

  1. Going away? Add time off, with your first and last day away. Customers cannot order for those dates.
  2. Tap Save changes. They show on your order page as soon as you save.

Pausing and resuming ordersat 1:32

  1. Need a break right now? Pause orders stops new orders, without taking your page down.
  2. Orders you already have are not affected. Confirm, and you are paused.
  3. This is what customers see while you are paused. Your page and your menu are still there, but they cannot order.
  4. They can leave their email, and Dish.ly tells them when your orders open again.
  5. When you are ready, tap Resume orders, and confirm.
  6. You are open again, and customers can order for your next cooking day.
  7. And that is Availability: your cooking days and cut-offs, your pickup and delivery times, your limits, time off, and a pause button for when you need it.
