Save Order time slot for
Set an amount in minutes whereby the order slots a web user has selected will be saved and not available for selection or double booking by other users. Web users can effectively save a block of slots or slot ensuring that no other web user can order the same slot at the same time for a small period of time. Setting this value to 0 mins means there is no such safe guard in place and orders are made on a first come first served basis.
