How do I set up Menu Hours?

Menu Hours (sometimes called Daypart Menus) let you show different items at different times – for example, a breakfast menu in the morning and a lunch menu in the afternoon. This article covers how to set them up and what to do if they don’t appear.

Setting up Menu Hours

1. Go to Menu Management from the left sidebar.
2. Choose the Store you want to configure.
3. Click on the Menu Hours tab (or Daypart depending on your view).
4. Click Add Menu Hour.
5. Give it a name (e.g., "Breakfast", "Lunch").
6. Set the Schedule – the days and times this menu should be active.
7. Under Linked Items, select the categories or items that should be part of this daypart. You can add multiple categories and items.
8. Click Save.

Repeat these steps for each daypart you need (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, etc.). You can drag to reorder them – the first one that matches the current time will take priority if schedules overlap.

Why won’t my daypart menus populate?

If your daypart menus are not appearing on your store or delivery apps, check these points:

1. Menu Hours are saved – Go back to the store’s Menu Hours tab and make sure the schedules are still active and haven’t been deleted.
2. Correct store selected – Each store must have its own Menu Hours set up. If you’re managing multiple branches, ensure you’re editing the right store.
3. Items are linked – A menu hour without any linked categories or items will show nothing. Open each schedule and verify that at least one category/item is assigned.
4. Schedules don’t overlap incorrectly – If two schedules overlap, the top one wins. Make sure the one you want active is higher in the list and its time window covers the current time.
5. Sync with delivery apps – If you recently made changes, wait 5–10 minutes for the sync to complete. You can also trigger a manual sync from the Integrations page.
6. Store status – If the store is paused, menus won’t display. Check that the store is not paused under Store Management.
7. Clear cache / Refresh – On the klikit app or web, try refreshing the menu or clearing the app cache.

If everything looks correct but daypart menus still don’t appear, contact our support team via the in-app chat or email support@klikit.io with screenshots of your Menu Hours setup and the issue.
