Once these toggles are activated, and menus are added, you will be able to accept orders.

You can disable ordering completely if you need to - or set closures for specific dates in the future.

The store’s Current Store Status indicates if location is currently fulfilling any new orders. This is controlled by the button under the label “Manual Store Closure”. This can be turned off when an unexpected closure happens.
