If you would like customers to only be able to order items from a menu section for a particular time you can do so in the advanced part of the Menu section edit options.
The customer can be online and make the order at any time, but only for a particular time period that you set on the Dashboard.
Please keep in mind that items with Restricted Ordering Hours are visible at all times. However, if a guest attempts to order an item for a slot outside of the restricted ordering hours, they’ll receive an error: “This item isn’t available for your chosen time.”
Remember to include the days / hours when a section is available in the section description or the item description - otherwise your guests would have no way of knowing which collection/delivery slot they should choose for those items.
