Important notes: Lead time is equal to the time that advance order will go to live tab order. For example if you put 60, order will go to live tab order 60 minutes before the actual advance order time.
Merchants leveraging advance order with current day enable suggested setting is: lead time should be double of slot time. Some case when lead time is short: system show near advance slot window and user choose it and take time to order and once they place order it almost cross the slot time or in between of slot time and raise issues like advance order arriving or printing late. Slot time is 30 min then lead time put 60 min. And put min lead time as 60 min to avoid small time overlaps - Repeat the same step for the other order type (if applicable)
