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. OLO Lead Times are initially configured during the SpotOn Order Types setup, but they can also be adjusted as necessary in the FOH.

OLO Lead Time Setup (BOH)

Action

Display

Tap on the Locations icon
Scroll to Dineloyal/SpotOn Order Ordering Settings
In the Pickup Lead Time section, input the appropriate Lead Time, in minutes
- This is the amount of time needed to prepare an order (on average). If lead time is set to 20 minutes, and an order is placed for 4pm, the ticket will print at 3:40pm.
In the Delivery Lead Time section, input the appropriate Lead Time, in minutes
- This is the same concept as Pickup Lead time, but here, consider the time needed to also deliver the food.

Please see SpotOn Order Types Settings for details on setting up OLO Order Types, as the Back Office settings are used primarily during the initial setup.
