Set start/end time for receiving Sound Notifications.#1046

Based on our experience, this is one of the changes requested by most restaurant owners.

We previously used another application (GloriaFood), and the ability to set a start and end time for receiving sound notifications was one of the improvements that restaurant owners appreciated the most.

Could you please add an option in the settings that allows scheduling the start and end time of sound notifications (for each day of the week)?

Many restaurant owners keep their tablet turned on in the restaurant or at home, even during the night.

For this reason, sound notifications could be disturbing if a customer places an order during the night for the following day.

Example: a customer places an order at 3:00 AM for 12:00 PM.
If sound notifications are set to start at 11:00 AM, the order would still arrive immediately when the customer places it, but in the restaurant dashboard it would arrive silently. It would start making a sound only from 11:00 AM if the order has not yet been accepted (in our example, 11:00 AM was set as the start time for sound notifications).

In GloriaFood, the start time for sound notifications coincides with the restaurant opening time in the settings. In that case as well, if a customer places an order outside the notification time, the order still arrives (but in silent mode) and then starts making a sound from the restaurant’s opening time.

Please add this feature so that restaurant owners can decide whether to keep sound notifications always active or receive them only from a specific time.

You could add a checkbox option that allows enabling or disabling sound notifications starting from the restaurant opening time (in the Settings / Opening Hours section).

Thank you for your suggestions, I’m reading them all. Indeed, it’s true, setting specific times for sound notifications would be very useful

I also come from GloriaFood; indeed, here too it would be possible to enable a schedule for receiving sound notifications

@Marco Baldini working in the industry, I can immediately understand what the potential issues might be for a restaurateur who will use this platform.

So many people ask me for it!

This feature is only really required on Gloriafood because it only works on one device. Its not really required with CloudWaitress because it can work on multiple devices.
