Wix Restaurants: Allowing Customers to Place Orders for a Future Date

2 min read
Important:
You can give customers the option of placing orders a few hours or days before the delivery time. For example, a bakery needs a few days notice in order to bake and decorate a birthday or a wedding cake. You can set a minimum time in advance (e.g. 3 days) that customers need to book in order to get their order delivered when they want it.
