Solo pizza shop - Is there a way to "stack" prep times?

I run a wood fire pizza cart on my own. I'm able to make a pizza in ~15 mins. Ideally the prep times would stack...2 pizzas = 30 mins...3 pizzas = 45 mins. Is there a way to do this? 

 

Currently I just have my general shop prep time set to 40 minutes and have a max order of 4 pizzas per order. It runs the risk of me being a bit late on 4 pizza orders and I'd also like to be able to get single orders out quicker than 40 minutes. 

 

Thanks!

Hey there @PieousPizza.  Unfortunately, this is not currently possible with Square Online. I’m curious, though.  How in the world did you set up a max of “4 pizzas per order?”  As far as I know, we can’t set up limits on online orders like that.  I’ve known other sellers who wanted to limit transactions to $x or x items in an order, but I don’t know that could be accomplished right now.

You're right! There isn't a way that I found through square...but I set my maximum items per order at 6 items (allowing for a few sides...most of my orders are 1-2 pizzas) and I just write *PLEASE LIMIT ORDERS TO 4 PIZZAS OR LESS* on my item descriptions and on the order page...its definitely far from a perfect solution but I haven't run into any orders over 4 pizzas in my 5 months of being open.

 

Well that's a bummer...I might have to consider switching to a different POS. It's really hard to manage prep times as I'm all by myself and could essentially crushed w just back to back 3 pie orders. That would come out to 6 pizzas in ~ 1 hr which is impossible if I'm also taking walk up orders and packing up pick ups...we'll see
