## ❓What is Time Slots?

Time Slots add a time picker next to your date picker, letting customers select a delivery, pickup, or local delivery window. This helps you:
* Plan delivery routes and kitchen/production schedules around fixed windows
* Give customers control over when their order arrives
* Manage daily order capacity with limits per slot

Time Slots can be displayed on the **Product Page**, **Cart Page**, or **Cart Drawer**.

Common use cases include:
* **Hourly pickup windows:** 8:00 AM–5:00 PM in 1 hour slots
* **Morning/evening delivery windows:** 8:00–10:00 AM and 3:00–8:00 PM
* **Local Delivery routes:** slots that match your driver schedule
* **Capacity control:** maximum 20 orders per slot
