SpotOn Order Lead Times

Lead times are how much time the restaurant needs to prepare an Online Order before it is ready, or delivered. A Lead Time of 30 minutes for a pickup order indicates it will be at least 30 minutes until the order is available for pick up. SpotOn Order Lead Times are initially configured during the SpotOn Order Types setup, but they can also be adjusted as necessary in the FOH.
