Feature

Cutoff-driven workflow

Set your cutoff. The rest happens.

The bottom line

Set your cutoff once. The platform enforces it, captures payments, and hands the kitchen a ready-to-bake list.

Included

Part of the Platform plan — no upgrade tier, no add-on cost.

$179/mo

Cutoff is the heartbeat of scheduled-production food.

Most restaurant POS systems assume orders happen now. Scheduled-production food doesn't work that way. You take orders today for tomorrow. At your cutoff time, the day locks. We built the entire system around that practice.

How to think about it

Before, and after.

Most operators come to MISE AN PLACE because the workarounds stopped scaling. Here's what changes the day this feature is live.

Without it

Customers email at 11:55am asking 'is it too late for tomorrow?' — you're scrambling.
You manually transcribe DMs and emails into a master spreadsheet every night.
Late cancellations after you've started prep cost you product and time.
Holiday weeks are a juggling act of pinned posts and apologetic replies.

With MISE AN PLACE

The cutoff banner ticks live on every page — no one is surprised by the deadline.
Orders flow into the system already. No transcription, no spreadsheet.
Stripe captures at lock — the customer's card is already authorized when they cancel.
Holidays / vacations are a date picker. Customers can't even add to cart for blocked dates.

What's included

Every detail you need.

Built by people who've worked in scheduled-production food and spent too many evenings with spreadsheets. Each item below is there because we needed it ourselves.

01
Daily cutoff time, per tenant
Set noon for next-day delivery, or 4pm Wednesday for Saturday catering. Per-day cutoff times supported.
02
Automatic lock at cutoff
Vercel cron + Inngest run every 15 minutes. When your cutoff passes, every submitted order moves to locked.
03
Payment captured on lock
Stripe authorizes at checkout, captures on lock. No refund-if-customer-cancels-after-cutoff drama.
04
Production sheet on the other side
Kitchen wakes up to a single page: every item to make, sorted by category, with quantity totals.
05
Late-order escalation
Orders placed after cutoff route to a separate flow. You decide whether to accept manually.

In the wild

How operators would use it.

Illustrative scenarios — not customer testimonials. These are the typical situations the feature was designed for.

Meal-prep

Case 01

Scenario

Lunchbox Co. takes Tuesday-through-Saturday meal-prep orders that ship Sunday. Cutoff is Saturday 6pm.

Outcome with MISE AN PLACE

Sunday morning, the kitchen has a single sheet listing every meal. Production starts. No spreadsheet, no group chat.

Bakery

Case 02

Scenario

Heir's Pears bakes Tuesday through Sunday. Cutoff is noon for next-day pickup or delivery.

Outcome with MISE AN PLACE

At 12:01pm, the bake list locks. Orders captured. Doughs scheduled. The kitchen owner sleeps better.

What you'll see

In your dashboard.

Live cutoff banner

Shows on the storefront: 'Order in 2h 14m for delivery tomorrow.' Updates by the second.

Holiday + blackout calendar

Block specific dates so customers can't order for them. Useful for owner vacations and stat holidays.
