Quote time strategy

Configuration

SmartQuote

The amount of time calculated by the Toast platform that the kitchen needs to prepare the items in an order placed for takeout or delivery.

  • Specify minimum and maximum prep times in hours and minutes.

Manual

The amount of time the kitchen needs to prepare the items in an order placed for takeout or delivery.

  • Specify time in hours and minutes.

  • Adjust time by five minute increments.

Kitchen capacity

When using Kitchen capacity strategy, the Toast platform automatically alerts you if the time slot when placing a future or immediate order is full.

  • Order volume number must be between 1 and 99.

  • Item volume number must be between 1 and 99.

As an additional setting, enter order price rules for Toast online orders.

  • Enter a price and additional time. The additional time is added to the takeout and delivery time (this only applies to first-party delivery).

  • Multiple price rules can be created.

  • If there are more than two rules, the rule with the greater price must have a greater time. For example, if a rule is any order over $10.00 has one hour added to the takeout time, then a $5.00 order cannot have a greater time. That time must be less than one hour, such as 45 minutes.
