Getting online ordering schedules -

Getting online ordering schedules

To retrieve a restaurant location's online ordering schedule, send a GET request to the /orderingSchedule endpoint of the order management configuration API. This endpoint returns a restaurant location’s online ordering hours for takeout, delivery, or both. The ordering schedule indicates the hours when a guest can place orders for immediate or future fulfillment.

Important

Retrieve a restaurant's online ordering schedule at least once per day at the end of the business day. This ensures that you have up-to-date information about when online ordering hours begin and end on the next business day. Future orders must fall within a restaurant's ordering hours. You are responsible for respecting the restaurant’s hours. The orders API will not validate against these hours.

Request for a restaurant's online ordering schedule

In the following example, you send a GET request to the /orderingSchedule endpoint with the Toast-Restaurant-External-ID to retrieve a restaurant location's online ordering schedule.

Response containing a restaurant's online ordering schedule

The following example shows a restaurant location's online ordering schedule for both DELIVERY and TAKEOUT dining option behaviors. The /orderingSchedule endpoint returns an array of values configured in the Online ordering hours section on the Takeout & delivery page in Toast Web. Restaurant operators must have first-party delivery enabled in Toast Web to display DELIVERY hours.

Note

Online ordering hours can extend past midnight as long as they are before the closeout hour. The closeout hour is the business day cutoff, which is the hour of the day that ends the current business day and starts the next. Allow at least 15 minutes between the end of the online ordering hour and the closeout hour. To configure your closeout hours, contact Toast support.

	The diningOptionBehavior the online ordering schedule is returned for.
	The local time in HH:MM format.
	Returns scheduled overrides. Scheduled overrides are temporary periods of time (customizable increments of 15 minutes) when a restaurant can adjust their online ordering schedule for a selected date or date range. For more information, see Configuring overrides.
	Indicates which `diningOptionBehavior` the override applies to.
	The maximum number of days in the future a guest can schedule an online order. You should not place orders more than the `scheduledOrderMaxDays`. This value can be configured in the Online ordering section on the Takeout & delivery page in Toast Web.

The values returned are organized by diningOptionBehavior.

If the restaurants you work with manage their own delivery, use DELIVERY hours. For more information on how to configure self-delivery, see Set Up Delivery Using Your Own Drivers.
If you or the restaurants you work with offer third-party orders and pickup, use TAKE_OUT hours.
To display general restaurant availability, use TAKE_OUT hours.

Determining if a restaurant accepts online orders

In the following example, the response returns an empty array. This means the restaurant location has not configured their online ordering hours in Toast Web. We recommend you contact the restaurant location prior to going live to confirm online ordering hours have been configured.
