Overview
After-Hours Ordering allows delivery operators to accept and queue orders outside of standard operating windows. By keeping your digital menu open overnight or during non-fulfillment hours, you capture high-intent demand from consumers browsing after hours. Orders placed outside business hours are automatically queued for processing as soon as your normal fulfillment window opens the following day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does After-Hours Ordering trigger based on store hours or order hours?
After-Hours Ordering kicks in immediately after your defined Order Hours close for the day. Because many delivery operators function without a traditional physical storefront, fulfillment is governed by order hours rather than store hours. Order hours represent the specific window during which your listing accepts and fulfills same-day orders.
Will orders placed after hours affect my dynamic estimated time of arrival (ETA)?
No. Because after-hours orders inherently carry longer fulfillment lead times, Weedmaps automatically excludes them from dynamic ETA calculations to protect your active delivery metrics.
Can After-Hours Ordering be enabled on Express Menus?
No. After-Hours Ordering is strictly available for primary menus on Delivery listings and cannot be used with Express Menus.
