Menu Scheduling

Automate your menu changes by scheduling when menus go live or expire.

Why Use Scheduling?

• Launch seasonal menus at midnight on the start date
• Automatically switch between lunch and dinner menus
• Remove limited-time offerings when they end
• Prepare menus in advance without manual publishing

Setting Up a Schedule

1. Open your menu in the editor
2. Click the Schedule button in the toolbar
3. Set your scheduling options:
   • Start Date/Time - When the menu becomes visible
   • End Date/Time (optional) - When the menu stops being visible
4. Click Save Schedule

Timezone Settings

Schedules use your restaurant's timezone setting:

1. Go to Settings → General
2. Set your restaurant's timezone
3. All schedules will follow this timezone

Coming Soon Teasers

Build anticipation for new menus:

1. Enable Show Coming Soon when scheduling
2. Add a custom teaser message (e.g., "New Summer Menu - June 1st!")
3. Visitors will see the teaser before the menu goes live

Viewing Scheduled Menus

On your menu list, scheduled menus show:

• 🟡 Scheduled - Waiting to go live
• 🟢 Live - Currently visible
• ⏰ Ending Soon - Will expire within 24 hours
• 🔴 Expired - No longer visible

Editing Scheduled Menus

You can edit a scheduled menu at any time:

• Content changes are saved but not visible until the schedule activates
• Schedule changes take effect immediately
