How to set up timed menu item for Online Ordering

This document will show you how to set up timed menus for online ordering

In the example below the store has breakfast only available from 8am-10am, then after 10am breakfast stops and the rest of the menu is available. 

Step 1: Create Item Filters

1. Navigate to item filters: POS --> Setting --> Item Filters 
2. Add new record
3. Name the filter
4. Select what needs to be included and/or excluded
5. Filter #1 
   1. In this example called "Online Ordering" is for when the entire menu is available except the breakfast menu.  
   2. So I check the box for "Available online." This will include every menu item that is available online (including the breakfast) 
   3. Next I need to use the "Exclude filter" section to exclude Breakfast from this menu

   2. Use the "Include Filter" section to select the Breakfast item category.
