Hi Olly – I added “Delivery time” as a mandatory field in my order form settings. Right now I have it set up so people can select one time from a list of times. This is working, but I would like to add a few more restrictions on this field.
I would like to actually add a calendar so people have to select a date for their delivery along with a time. I would also like to set up restrictions and rules for ordering.
EX – if the delivery date and time is less than XX hours away the person should get a message about delivery time restrictions. It would also be helpful to be able to black out certain days and times in advance if the restaurant is not open.
I think this would be useful for any delivery restaurant, and I am very willing to pay for it as an upgrade.
thank you!

regarding:
It would also be helpful to be able to black out certain days and times in advance if the restaurant is not open.
you can already do that. wppizza->opening times -> “Any dates/days where opening times differ from the standard times above” . No ?
regarding the other stuff. I did start to do something along those lines a while back but abandoned it as it was getting silly and horrendously complicated and messy with all the timing options available. Having said that , that was a while ago when the whole wppizza plugin was in its infancy . I will probably resurrect that idea now it has somewhat matured a bit. Cant give you and ETA though
3 January, 2014 at 4:52 pm #3775PaigeThanks for the quick response. I can understand how this would get extremely complicated/messy.
I think you can currently block time the restaurant is not open, but I am not sure if you can block it in regards to to the order form settings. I probably wasn’t clear in the request above, I would like to give people the option of scheduling future deliveries in a ‘smart’ order for that won’t allow people to schedule deliveries during certain black out dates or within a certain number of hours of the delivery time.
5 January, 2014 at 2:46 pm #3776The first issue I can see is that the shop is closed and no orders can be placed during your closed times.
This would of course also apply when trying to place orders for future delivery (i.e you wont be able to place those either during closed hours). So that would have to be addressed to start off with when doing some sort of “future delivery/order”.No doubt there would be a few other issues one comes across when doing such a thing…..
As I mentioned earlier though, I will probably resurrect this idea – as I agree that this might be useful for a variety of shops/resturants – but really have no ETA as to when I’ll get round to doing something about this…
