Question

Can I create capacity limits for menu items for Toast Catering Online Ordering?

Answer

To create capacity limits for menu items for Toast Catering Online Ordering, follow the steps below:

  1. In Toast Web, navigate to Catering & events > Online ordering > Catering capacity. 
  2. Here, you can enable the feature and set daily limits for takeout and delivery.  For the full overview, see Catering Online Ordering Capacity in the Optimize Toast Catering Online Ordering article. 

 

Note: Limits are set by your configured business day cutoff in Toast POS — not midnight, and not when your business closes. Each date's window runs 24 hours from the location's business day cutoff.

For example, if your business day cutoff is set to 4:00 a.m., the Tuesday limit runs from Tuesday at 4:00 a.m. through Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. local. An order promised for 2:00 a.m. Wednesday counts against Tuesday's limit.
