The routing feature allows you to set up a Break Time Window to accommodate a break (e.g. lunch or dinner) during the planning to comply with safety guidelines / minimize driver fatigue.
The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) of stops will be delayed, and not be planned within the Break Time Window.
This tutorial is on setting up a Break Time Window for your drivers.

Note:
The start time of the route can be delayed with the use of this Break Time Window.
