Important note: This payment method is only available for restaurants in Thailand.

Feature Update: Min/Max Time in Advance for Scheduled On-Premise Orders

If you accept scheduled on-premise orders, you can now set up a minimum and maximum time in advance. This can help in scenarios like room service orders where guests want to schedule breakfast in advance.

You can set this up in your restaurant dashboard -> Services & opening hours -> Scheduled orders -> Settings for on premise.
