Time-Based Campaign Routing

The same table tent can show a lunch menu at noon and a dinner menu at 6pm. Journeys schedules routing by weekday and local time, down to the minute, with no staff intervention.

The Challenge

🍽️

One menu can't fit every daypart

Lunch specials, dinner menus, and happy hour pricing all compete for space on the same printed QR code.

🌙

Midnight and weekend windows are hard to manage

Manually swapping destinations for late-night hours or weekend-only promos means someone has to remember to do it.

🕰️

Server time zones don't match customer time zones

A schedule based on server time shows the wrong content to visitors in a different time zone.
