What are Provider opening days? 

Provider opening days are the days in which a provider is open and can deliver preordered catering and additional services to meetings.

In many cases, a delivery provider has some days during a week when they are closed, and has preparation deadlines for incoming orders. It is important that incoming orders are aligned with the opening days and the preparation deadline, such that no orders are wrongly placed or overseen.

It is now possible to set opening days for a provider such that all logic according to preparation deadlines and deadline per item is kept.

Example: A provider has closed Saturdays and Sundays, and have a general preparation deadline set for 1 Day, at 1:00 PM. You want to order catering to a meeting you have on Monday, according to the preparation deadline and opening days, you have to order no later than Friday at 1:00 PM.
