Ever wish you could have a special menu that only appears during breakfast hours? Or maybe you have lunch specials that you don't want customers ordering at 8 PM? The **Product Scheduler **is the perfect tool for this!

This feature gives you full control to make specific products available for purchase only on the days and times you choose. It's a fantastic way to manage your menu automatically, so you don't have to worry about customers ordering items that you aren't ready to prepare.

## Navigate to the Product Scheduler

- First things first, let's navigate to the right place in your merchant panel.
- In the merchant panel, on the left-hand side of your screen. Find and click on **Catalog**.
- Inside the Catalog section, click on the tab that says **Product Scheduler**.

**Important Note: **A product can only belong to **one **schedule at a time. For example, if you add "Egg Sandwich" to your "Breakfast Menu," you cannot also add it to a different "Lunch Menu" schedule. This prevents any confusion for your customers. You can define multiple shifts as to when the product will be available accordingly.
:::

**Name Your Schedule:  **Type a name that makes sense to you. For our example, let's type Breakfast Menu.

**Add Products to Your Schedule: **On the right side of the screen, you'll see a list of your "Available Products". Simply click on the products you want to add to this schedule. As you click them, they will appear on the left, under the "Products" section.

**Set the Days and Times: **This is where you tell the system exactly when these products should be available.

**Note:** The scheduler will always use the time zone you have set for your store.

- **Find the Day: **Look for the day of the week you want to set, for example, **Monday**.
- **Add a Shift: **Click the **+ Add Shift **button for that day. Time boxes will appear.
- **Set the Time: **In the boxes, enter the start and end times.
- **Activate the Day: **Make sure the blue toggle switch on the far right is **ON **for that day.



**Save Your Schedule: **Once you're happy with the name, products, and timings, just scroll to the bottom and click the blue **Save** button.


When a customer visits your store during a time a product is **not **on the schedule, they won't be able to add it to their cart. Instead, the product will appear greyed out with a simple, clear message telling them when it will be available next.
