Limit the number of delivery orders per day
Make sure you have the date picker turned on in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Local delivery.
Under Limit orders, enable the Limit number of delivery orders per day.
You can now add the maximum number of orders you can receive for each day you have delivery enabled on.
They will be set to 0 by default, so make sure to add a higher number to each day you want to offer delivery on.

Check the delivery daily limit report
Click the reports icon next to the daily limits for a specific day. In this example, we'll use Monday.
Select a Monday in the calendar, and click search.
The report will show all the orders made for that slot on that day, and note the number of remaining slots.

You can now add the maximum number of delivery orders you can receive per slot.
If you switch to different slots each day of the week, you can add different delivery slot limits for them, too.
Click Save.
The number of delivery orders will now be limited per slot for this location.
If you have multiple delivery locations, please repeat this process on each of your locations.

Notes
Cancelled/deleted orders do not count towards order limits
Editing order's date, time, and location will update the limits
Limitations
Orders will be counted towards the limits only if they have our attributes (if not, order will not appear in Zapiet dashboard).
This feature only works with the settings Every day of the week and Specific days of the week. The Specific dates of the year option is not yet supported in the limits feature.
Your maximum order limit may be exceeded:
If multiple customers are checking out at the same time, it's possible that they both select the last available slot for a given day.
