Setting up Catering

1. Build your Catering menu
Start by building a dedicated Catering menu. This is separate from your regular menu.

• If you’re a standalone venue, build your menu directly in Bopple.
• If you’re integrated with POS, create your menu there and import it to Bopple.

See menu setup guides:

• Standalone
  
• Lightspeed
• Square

2. Assign categories to Catering order types
Once your menu exists in Bopple, choose which categories are available for Catering Pick-up and/or Catering Delivery.

• Go to Bopple Back Office → Menu → Availability → Categories
• Select a category
• Choose Limit to specific order types
• Select the Catering order types

3. Configure your Catering fulfilment settings
Once Catering is enabled, set up your fulfilment rules in the Back Office.

• Bopple Back Office → Store settings → Fulfilment
• Select Set up next to Catering Pick-up (or Catering Delivery)
• Enable the toggle
• Update the settings to match your workflows
  • Minimum order amount — the minimum spend required for Catering orders
  • How far in advance can customers schedule orders? — how far ahead customers can schedule orders
  • How much lead time do you require for orders? — how much notice you need to prepare an order (i.e. 2 days notice)
  • Do you have a daily cut-off time for orders? — set a cut off time (i.e. order by 2pm for next day)
  • Scheduling interval — time interval by which customers can schedule orders for (i.e. 12pm, 12:30pm, 1pm, etc)
  • Email notifications — set an email to receive Catering order alerts
  • Order confirmation notice — text that will be shown after checkout, and included on receipts

4. Place a test order and go live
Place a test order to check the customer experience.

Once you’re happy with the setup, your Catering menus are ready to accept real orders.
