Creating a menu block will disable all orders from the selected menu for the duration of that block. Depending on which of the option you use, you have a choice of blocking order for the selected menu for just collections, just deliveries or both.

From the main menu, click on Block Timeslots.

Click on Add Block Timeslots

The various elements of a block:

• Block Type: Select Block Timeslot
• Menu: Select the menu that you do not want to display
• Description: Enter a narrative that lets other users know why you have created that block.
• Start Date: Enter the date when the block should be in effect. If it is just for one day, then the End Date should be the same. If you are blocking orders for a date range i.e. over New Year’s Eve period, then enter the date of the last day the block is valid until.
• Start Time: Enter the time of the first time slot when the block should be in effect and the last time slots when the block should be in effect in End Time.

Note: if you want to resume taking orders at say 19:00, then End time should be 18:59.

• Schedule: If the block is recurring i.e. every Monday between 16:00 and 18:00 you are not taking orders, then select a day / day range.
• Block Level: Confirm if the block applies to Collection, Deliveries or both.

Click on SAVE

The block will take effect and no orders will be accepted for the selected menu for the stipulated date(s) and time(s).

You can create any block ahead of time to take effect in the future.
