Managing your prep time in Lightspeed Kounta

Managing your prep time in response to changes in your order volumes is important for keeping customers informed and ensuring delivery drivers arrive at the right time.

When you use Lightspeed Kounta integrated with your online store, your prep time is synced from Lightspeed in real time, so you don't need to sign in to Bopple to update your prep time. 

Step 1: Add a default prep time for your site 

This first step will require you log in to your Lightspeed Back Office.

• Go to Lightspeed Back Office ➞ Features ➞ Order Types
• Enable the feature if it is not already enabled
• Select Settings
• Set something other than 0 for your Prep time (minutes)
• Click Save changes

Step 2: Make temporary adjustments during service

Once you have assigned your default in Lightspeed Back Office, you can make temporary adjustments quickly and easily right from your POS. 

• Go to Lightspeed POS
• Click Online button in the top right corner of the POS
• Choose your adjusted prep time and click Update
