How to Manage Global Schedule Settings

The Schedule Settings section in WPCafe allows you to configure your restaurant’s weekly operating hours, manage break times, and set custom schedules for Pickup, Delivery, and Reservation orders.
These settings help you organize order timing, avoid overlaps, and maintain better workflow management.

📝 Note #

• You can set a Global Schedule for your restaurant from the WPCafe Settings panel, which applies to Pickup, Delivery, and Reservation.
• To use separate hours for each service,you can enable the Override Schedule option in the same panel.
• If your restaurant has multiple branches, you can override the global schedule per location to set custom hours.

These options ensure customers always see the correct time slots for their chosen service and location.

How to Set a Weekly Global Schedule #

Configure your restaurant’s opening hours for each day of the week, including break times for better order management.

The Global Schedule defines your restaurant’s main opening and closing hours. This schedule affects pickup, delivery, and reservation slots unless you override them individually.

Schedule Setup Details #

Set time intervals and daily opening and closing hours, adding multiple slots per day for different sessions. This global schedule applies to all order types unless overridden.

Override Global Schedule for Pickup #

This option allows you to set a custom schedule exclusively for pickup orders, overriding the default global schedule.
If your pickup hours differ from your restaurant’s main operating hours, enabling this feature ensures better time management and smoother order flow.

Schedule Setup Details #

• When “Override Default Schedule for Pickup” is enabled, the system will follow this schedule only for pickup orders instead of the global schedule.
• You can define opening and closing times for each day of the week. Multiple time slots can be created per day. Each pickup slot is generated based on the selected time interval.
