Overview
When delivering orders you will want to restrict the areas you deliver to and when you take orders from, this can be done by following the guide below:
|| MyOrderBox POS orders - use Postcodes as Polygons are not supported. || For that when trying to 'Add a new customer' for delivery and for its delivery charges, please make sure under Store: Setup > Online Ordering > Delivery > Settings : Postal Codes & Charges, postcodes are written such as "N9_" with its delivery fee and is active for it to show the delivery charge on the POS when trying to add a postcode manually.
Use polygons to easily configure the delivery zones for online ordering Website, App and MyFoodFast POS.
Back Office
- Navigate to each Store: Setup > Online Ordering > Delivery > Zones > New Zone
- Map will open > Click Draw a Shape > Map your desired delivery zone using polygons
- Complete the required fields >
-
Name -
Minimum (order) - Minimum spend to place an order for this area -
(Delivery) Charge - Delivery charge for this particular area -
Free Delivery over -
Priority
| Zones may overlap, and zone with a lower priority number "wins" that delivery. || This also applies on zones between stores in a company, not just for zones in one store. | If you use a stepping of 10.00, this gives you a chance to slide in a new zone between zones with priority 15.00, without changing priorities 10.00 and 20.00 or another way is to use 10.10, 10.15,10.20 | For example little rectangle in the middle is "Free zone" with priority 10.00 Larger shape has 20.00 and the biggest one has 30.00 This way you don't need to draw a shape around "Free zone" but over instead.
- Available 24/7-
- Uncheck to restrict zones to particular days and times.
- NEW: When unchecked, you can select which days of the week delivery is available (Mon-Sun) and set specific time ranges for each day.
- Useful if wanting to have different Minimum Spend or Charge limits at different times or to disable delivery on specific days. ||| You MUST have a delivery zone available at all times, for a user to be able to access your store at any time, otherwise they would see the message "Sorry, we do not serve this area." even though you do at a different time. So best to leave at least one zone as available 24/7 OR ensure at least one zone covers every day/time you want to offer delivery.
- Enter Delivery time as the time would you want the Preparation and Delivery time calculated from.
Restricting Delivery to Specific Days of the Week
Use Case: You want to offer delivery only on certain days (e.g., Thursday-Sunday only) while keeping collection available all week.
Solution: Use the day selection feature in Delivery Zones:
- Navigate to Store: Setup > Online Ordering > Delivery > Zones
- Edit each delivery zone that should have day restrictions
- Uncheck "Available 24/7"
- A day selection panel will appear with:
- Checkboxes for each day (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun)
- Start time and End time fields
- Uncheck the days when delivery should NOT be available (e.g., uncheck Mon, Tue, Wed)
- Keep checked the days when delivery IS available (e.g., Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun)
- Set the time ranges for the enabled days
- Click Save
- Repeat for ALL delivery zones that cover the same area
Important Notes:
- This controls delivery availability for the Website, App, and MFF POS
- On disabled days, customers will see "We don't deliver to your area" when they enter an address in that zone
- Collection orders are not affected - customers can still order for collection on any day
- The "Delivery Times" in Delivery > Settings define the operating hours but DO NOT control which days delivery is available - that's controlled by the zones
- If you have multiple overlapping zones, all zones need the same day restrictions applied, or customers might see inconsistent availability
Example Scenario: Store wants delivery Thursday-Sunday only, but collection available all week:
- Edit all delivery zones → Uncheck "Available 24/7"
- Uncheck Mon, Tue, Wed
- Check Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun with appropriate time ranges
- Result: Mon-Wed customers can only order for collection; Thu-Sun customers can choose delivery or collection
