# External Zones

**Use External Zones**

Enable this option to import delivery sections from an External Orders Service (EOS).

**Zones**

This column displays the name of each external section.

NOTE: This description is modified by the EOS only.

**Delivery Fees**

This column displays any amount added for each external zone.

NOTE: This value is modified by the EOS only.

**Base Delay**

This column displays the minimum number of minutes required to get to each external zone.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: This time is modified by the EOS only.
{% endhint %}

**Additional Delay**

Enter the extra time required to get to each zone, according to road conditions and rush hours.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: This second delay is modified at the restaurant, and then transmitted to the EOS in real-time.
{% endhint %}

**Status**

Set this field to Close if the drivers currently can not get to that zone, because off road conditions. For example, if the main road leading to this zone is closed, you can shut down this zone for this restaurant, so that the EOS refuses orders, or tries to assign orders to another restaurant with their permission.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: This status is modified at the restaurant, and then transmitted to the EOS in real-time.
{% endhint %}

**Reset at End Of Day**

Enable this option to automatically bring back the Additional Delays to zero and the Statuses to Open at the end of the fiscal day. The Zones, Delivery Fees and Base Delays fields will then also be imported from the EOS.

**Manual Update**

Touch this button to import immediately the Zones, Delivery Fees and Base Delays from the EOS.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maitredpos.com/maitred/maitred-complete-online-documentation/chap-12-delivery/file/external-zones.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
