Toggling Website Features

Website → Pages & Features controls two different things: the pages customers can visit, and the features they can use. The top half is pages, the bottom half is features, and they save differently.

Pages

Each page is a card with a switch: on means it appears in your site navigation.

• Drag to reorder. This order is the order customers see in your navigation.
• Each card shows a stat: dish count, photo count, so you can tell what’s behind a page before enabling it.
• The Reservations page needs the Reservations feature. Enabling the page alone does nothing; the feature switch below is what makes it work.

Note: Your plan caps how many pages can be on at once, and a counter shows where you stand. The free plan allows two. Turn one off to free a slot, or see subscription plans.

Features

• Food Ordering. Not a single switch but a set of channels: Pickup, Dine-in, Delivery. Select any combination. With none selected, customers can still browse and build a cart, but checkout is disabled with a “not accepting orders” message. Delivery reveals fee and radius fields.
• Table Reservations: shows a booking form where guests pick a date, time, and party size. Bookings land in your Reservations panel.
• Call Waiter Button: puts a button on your menu page; taps notify your staff instantly. Pairs with QR codes on tables.
• Newsletter Sign-up: adds an opt-in checkbox to your order and reservation forms, so guests join your subscriber list while doing something else. The least intrusive way to build a list.
• WhatsApp Button: a floating chat bubble on every page. You’ll be asked for your number the first time.
• Events & Ticketing: sell tickets to events on your site. Only appears if enabled for your restaurant.

Each feature card has a What this does explanation, which is worth reading before switching something on for the first time.

How saving differs

This trips people up:

• Page switches apply immediately. Flip one and it’s live.
• Feature changes are batched. A save bar appears at the bottom with a count of pending changes. Nothing happens until you click Save, or Cancel to back out.

Warning: Switching a page or feature off removes it from your live site as soon as it saves. A customer mid-way through ordering loses access. Turn things off during quiet hours where you can.

Roll out gradually

There’s no advantage to enabling everything at once, and real downside: a reservation form nobody is watching, or an order channel the kitchen isn’t ready for, damages trust faster than a missing feature does.

An order that tends to work:

1. Menu and QR codes: no operational change required.
2. WhatsApp: easy to manage, and customers like a direct line.
3. Newsletter sign-up: passive, no daily work.
4. Reservations: once you’ll check the dashboard regularly.
5. Ordering: when the kitchen workflow can absorb digital orders.
6. Waiter calls: once staff are trained on the alerts.

Two features you handle reliably beat four you handle badly.
