You can adjust the settings of a SkipTheDishes channel.
Editing channel settings is only possible with the user role Edit store settings. If your user role does not include this, contact an Administrator user in your account and ask them to provide you access. Learn how to change user roles.
Follow the steps in this article to access the settings page of your SkipTheDishes channel.
The following settings are available inside the SkipTheDishes channel settings section.
Connection
Update store opening hours
Activate to use Deliverect’s opening hours to update your SkipTheDishes store’s opening hours. Changes to location opening hours are displayed in the Deliverect Operation Reports as “Update Store Opening Hours".
If inactive, set your SkipTheDishes opening hours in your SkipTheDishes portal.
Menu
Publish calories as kilojoules
Activate to publish the kilojoule equivalent of the calorie amount configured in your item’s Product specifications to SkipTheDishes instead of calories. SkipTheDishes will display the energy information as kJ instead of kcal.
Use portions
Activate to map your Deliverect variants to SkipTheDishes' portions to display sizes or variations of an item. You can create variants in Deliverect (or your POS if supported).
Order preparation time request
Activate to control your SkipTheDishes order preparation time from Deliverect. Navigate to Order behaviour inside POS settings and set the desired time in the Average preparation time field.
To use this feature, please ask your SkipTheDishes representative to activate the Dynamic Food Prep Time setting in SkipTheDishes, or contact our support team to request it on your behalf.
If inactive, the estimated time is controlled from your SkipTheDishes portal.
Order
Fixed cost %
Input your SkipTheDishes fixed cost % for Deliverect to account for these amounts in your analytics. This information is not sent to your POS and is used solely for order total calculations in Deliverect Restaurants’ analytics.
Use store item names
Activate this setting to display the item names visible on SkipTheDishes (if they have been manually modified on your Deliverect menu) on the Orders page and the DMA screen and printouts (if you use the DMA).
The default behavior is to display the item’s names as they sync from your POS.
This behavior is only applicable for Deliverect Restaurants and DMA. If you use a POS, your POS will use its item names.
