Order Settings
Control how customers can place orders, when they can schedule them, and manage your order capacity. Use clear Menuella steps for your restaurant.
Order settings control how customers can place orders, when they can schedule them, and how many orders you can handle at once.
Where to find it: Store → Order settings
Available on every operating surface
Order Settings is shared across the Dashboard, Menuella Mobile App for iOS and Android, and Menuella Terminal. The labels and navigation can differ by platform, but the restaurant rules are shared.
- Use the Dashboard or Mobile App for complete configuration.
- Use Menuella Terminal for service-time controls such as pausing orders and enabling or disabling delivery or takeaway.
