Yes. You can add breaks before optimization (by setting the planned break time) or after creating a route (by inserting a break and positioning it between stops). Breaks appear to drivers as a stop in the sequence, and when a break is included in a route, EasyRoutes will recalculate remaining ETAs and the overall route duration. This is useful for lunch windows, mandatory rest periods, or overnight pauses. For multi‑day itineraries, consider splitting different days into separate routes, or using an overnight strategy so customer ETAs align with actual delivery periods.

How do per-stop service times affect my ETAs and route length?
Per-stop service time is added to each EasyRoutes stop, so ETAs and total route duration reflect delivering, not just driving, and count toward Max route duration.
Can I set how much time a driver spends at each stop?
Yes. Set Time per stop in EasyRoutes to add a service-time buffer at each stop, factored into ETAs and route length — in both Shopify and Web.
