Time Availability for Categories

Orda now enables merchants to restrict category visibility based on specific days and times. This category-level availability configuration is ideal for businesses that offer time-sensitive menus, such as breakfast, lunch, or late-night offerings.

This feature is available for Enterprise Plan users and helps streamline menu visibility while eliminating the need for manual intervention in showing or hiding time-specific offerings.

Time-based availability allows merchants to automate when a menu category is shown to customers. This ensures accurate and efficient menu management based on service hours.

Typical use cases include:

• A Breakfast Menu available only from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Saturday.

• A Lunch Special available only from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays.

• A Weekend Brunch Menu available exclusively on Saturdays and Sundays.

These rules help maintain menu integrity and improve customer experience by only displaying relevant options at the appropriate times.

The Time Availability feature lets you set specific times for categories. These two use cases are supported:

1. Specific categories are only available in specific days or times.

2. Specific discount that is given for specific days (for example Tuesday Taco 2 for 1).

1. Log In To Your Orda Dashboard

Go to https://getorda.com.

To disable a category on a specific day, leave that day’s fields blank or remove the time slots.

These settings determine when the category is available for selection in the online ordering site and mobile app. 

• Time entries are based on the location’s local timezone.

• Each day of the week is configurable independently, allowing for complex availability schedules.

• Categories not configured with specific hours will be treated as not available
