Use Online Ordering > Online Configuration > Order Settings to configure specific order modes for your online ordering website. Currently, Aloha Order Direct only supports future orders, curbside orders and dine in orders.

• Future order settings tab — Allows you to configure the number of days in advance a consumer can place an online order. This tab helps you manage order volume and business resources. You can also use this tab to turn on or turn off the future ordering feature for a site.
• Curbside settings tab — Allows you to configure a site so that a guest can receive their order at their car without stepping into the restaurant/store. You can also use this tab to turn on or turn off the curbside ordering feature for a site.
• Dine in settings tab — Allows you to configure a site so that consumers can order and pay from their table. Consumers scan the QR code available on the table to access the ordering site and enter and pay for their order. The server delivers the food to the table.
• Delivery settings tab — Allows you to configure a site to accept orders for delivery and select the delivery fee to charge for the delivery service.

To configure future order settings:

• Log in to Aloha Cloud Back Office using a specific store.
• Select Online Ordering > Online Configuration > Order Settings. The Future order settings tab is selected as default.
  
• Click Accepting future orders to establish this site accepts online orders. The entry in number of days determines if the site only accepts orders for the current day or up to seven days in the future.
• Select the number of days in advance a consumer can place an online order from the drop-down list. By default, a site can accept an online order for up to seven days in advance. If you change this to one day in advance, the site accepts orders for the current business day only.
