Choose the days and times guests can order from a menu or a category, such as a breakfast menu that's only available in the morning.
Requirements
The Manage menus permission. See Staff jobs and permissions.
Before you start
Menu and category hours work inside your restaurant's ordering hours. They can make a menu or category available for less time, but not outside the hours your restaurant takes orders.
Choose the right location first. If the location's menu is connected to a brand menu, the brand menu's hours replace the location's hours each time the brand menu is saved. See Manage menus across locations.
Choose menu hours or category hours
Separate menus with menu hours: use this when the menus don't overlap. For example, breakfast runs from 7 AM to 11 AM and lunch starts at 11 AM.
One menu with category hours: use this when the times overlap. For example, breakfast items are sold from 7 AM to 11 AM while the rest of the menu is open all day. Add a Breakfast category with its own hours to your main menu.
⚠️ Keep menu hours from overlapping. If two menus are open at the same time, guests might only see one of them.
