We will utilize the following QashierEats settings for delivery and pick-up orders in QashierHQ to illustrate each function and its corresponding use case.
Part A: Available order type for QashierEats
The highlighted URL link is your official QashierEats website that can be shared on social platforms, ads, posters, and more. If you need to change the URL link, please reach out to our customer service for further assistance.
You have two order types available on your QashierEats website: Pick-up and Delivery. Choose the option(s) that you want to make available for your customers to place their orders.
Part B: Available order type for in-store QR ordering
The available order types for in-store QR ordering are dine-in and takeaway. Customers can choose to dine-in and place their orders using the QR code provided, or they can opt for takeaway, where they order through the QR code and collect their food to consume elsewhere.
Select the option(s) that best suit your business model, depending on whether your F&B establishment is exclusively for dine-in, takeaway, or both dine-in and takeaway services.
Part C: Auto apply discount for pick up order (%)
These options allow customers to enjoy discounts for pick-up orders. When customers place a pick-up order through QashierEats, they will automatically receive the discount.
Set value to "0" if you would like to disable auto apply discount function
Part D: Accept order buffer time and Minimum preparation time
Accept order buffer time is the lead time for you to accept an order from QashierEats.
Minimum Preparation Time
Minimum preparation time refers to the minimum amount of time required to prepare an order before it can be picked up or delivered to the customer. It represents the minimum time needed to process and prepare the items in the order, ensuring that they are ready for pick-up or delivery.
Both Accept order buffer time and Minimum Preparation Time will affect the pick up and delivery time slot in QashierEats
Pick-up time slot in QashierEats:
In this example, let's assume that the Accept Order Buffer Time is set to 5 minutes and the Minimum Preparation Time is set to 10 minutes.
When a customer places an order at 11:00 am, the Accept Order Buffer Time will be added, making the effective start time for order processing 11:05 am. After considering the Minimum Preparation Time of 10 minutes, the expected completion time for meal preparation will be 11:15 am (11:05 am + 10 minutes).
On the QashierEats website, the next available time slot for customer pick-up will be from the 11:30 am time slot onwards, ensuring that the order is ready for collection by that time. This allows for a buffer between the expected completion time and the available pick-up time, providing sufficient time for order preparation and ensuring a smooth customer experience.
In this example, let's assume that the Accept Order Buffer Time is set to 5 minutes and the Minimum Preparation Time is set to 10 minutes.
When a customer places an order at 2:16 pm, the Accept Order Buffer Time of 5 minutes is added, resulting in an effective start time for order processing at 2:21 pm (2:16 pm + 5 minutes). Considering the Minimum Preparation Time of 10 minutes, the expected completion time for meal preparation will be 2:31 pm (2:21 pm + 10 minutes).
On the QashierEats website, the next available time slot for customer pick-up will be from the 3:00 pm time slot onwards. The reason why the "2:00 pm - 2:30 pm" time slot is not available is because the food will only be ready for pick-up after 2:30 pm due to the minimum preparation time. This ensures that the customer cannot choose a time slot that falls before the expected completion time, maintaining the accuracy of the pick-up schedule.
Delivery time slot in QashierEats:
In this example, let's assume that the Accept Order Buffer Time is set to 5 minutes and the Minimum Preparation Time is set to 10 minutes.
When a customer places an order at 11:00 am, the Accept Order Buffer Time of 5 minutes is added, resulting in an effective start time for order processing at 11:05 am (11:00 am + 5 minutes). After considering the Minimum Preparation Time of 10 minutes, the expected completion time for meal preparation will be 11:15 am (11:05 am + 10 minutes).
The estimated delivery time is set to be 25 minutes, which means the order will be delivered by 11:40 am. The next available time slot for customers to place orders will be from the 12:00 pm time slot onwards.
To calculate the time when you receive the order, you need to subtract the delivery time and preparation time from the chosen delivery slot. In this case, the chosen delivery slot is 12:00 pm. Subtracting the delivery time of 25 minutes, the time would be 11:35 am. Then, subtracting the preparation time of 10 minutes, the time would be 11:25 am. This is the time when the kitchen will print the order to inform you that the food is ready for preparation.
Part E: Max number of orders per time slot
This is the total (maximum) number for both delivery and pick-up orders that can be accepted per time slot. Each time slot is 30mins. The picture below shows the interval for each time slot for each day is 30mins (highlighted in orange box)
We will further explain on this for Part G: Configure time slots as they are interrelated.
Part F: Selectable days for pick-up
This indicates the advance order window for pick-up orders, which in this case is set to 5 days.
For example, let's say today's date is January 1st. On QashierEats, customers will be able to select a pick-up date within the available date range of January 1st to January 5th. This means that customers can place their pick-up orders in advance for any date within this 5-day window.
Part G: Configure time slots
This options allows you to set your desired pick-up and delivery time slots.
Go to QashierHQ
Click on the gear icon (settings) on the top-right hand corner of the page
Select QASHIEREATS tab
Note: if you have more than 1 QashierEats store, you can select the store where you would like to make changes to
Select CONFIGURE TIME SLOTS
Click on the necessary time slots
Click CONFIRM on the top-right hand corner once the above steps are completed
In this example, we have set the following pick-up and delivery time slot options:
Pick-up and delivery are available every day.
The available pick-up and delivery time slot is from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm.
Customers will be able to select any time within this specified range for pick-up or delivery of their orders.
Here's a step-by-step video guide:
While configuring the time slots, there are some additional options you may want to consider as well.
Option 1: Autofill Max Order Per Slot
Enabled: Delivery orders will be automatically assigned to the available time slots.
Disabled: You will need to manually assign delivery orders to each time slot.
Option 2: Maximum Order for Delivery
This setting allows you to define the maximum number of delivery orders per time slot.
The number displayed in each time slot consists of two digits:
The left digit represents the maximum total number of orders (both delivery and pick-up) that can be accepted in that time slot, as set in Part E of this article.
The right digit represents the maximum number of delivery orders specifically that can be accepted in that time slot.
Example:
 | This shows maximum orders you can accept is 30. Out of 30 orders, all of them are cater for delivery orders |
 | This shows maximum orders you can accept is 30. Out of 30 orders, only 5 orders are cater for delivery orders. The rest of 25 orders are cater for pickup orders. |
You have the flexibility to adjust the maximum order for delivery based on different situations. For instance, if you encounter delivery issues with your delivery partner and are unable to fulfill all delivery orders, you may choose to reduce the maximum order for delivery for a specific time period until the issues are resolved. This allows you to manage the order volume effectively and ensure a smooth customer experience.
From our previous example, we now want to reduce the maximum number of delivery orders from 30 to 5 orders, and the time period is from 11.30 am - 2:00 pm due to delivery issue, here's how you want to configure your time slots:
Go to QashierHQ
Click on the gear icon (settings) on the top-right hand corner of the page

Fix fee for different order amounts ($)
The delivery fee will remain fixed at the amount you have set, regardless of the order total.

Different fee for different delivery distance

For delivery distances ranging from 5 km to 10 km, the delivery fee is $5.
For delivery distances exceeding 10 km, the delivery fee is $8.
iv. Apply free delivery threshold amount?
You can enable this option so that if the order amount exceeds the threshold you have set, the delivery fee will be waived for your customers.
