Adding "pause" feature for restos #87

Open GilbertEatibl opened 6 years ago

GilbertEatibl commented 6 years ago

Priority = medium

Would it be possible for restaurants to have two types of "pause" features?

Manual - like a switch, they can turn on and off their deals anytime Scheduled - they can choose a date where they can hide their deals

This would mainly save them time from removing all the discounts and then putting them back in for whatever reason (holiday, event, no more seats avail, vacation, etc)

If the scheduled option is too difficult, it would be great to have the manual pause as i know a couple restos that would like this option.

thanks!

I think a scheduled option is a great idea! That's an excellent way to deal with Holidays, something we definitely need to implement. A manual pause is great too, with the caveat that any bookings made prior to the pausing need to be honored.

Essentially, manual pausing should be used in situations where they are still open but are full, while scheduled pausing is for Holidays or other times when they are closed when they would normally be open. That way we can have a flagging system set up where if there are any bookings made on a day that a restaurant then sets as a scheduled pause we can get in touch with the people who made the bookings and notify them.
