No, it does not answer the question
The Orders API does not directly provide an estimated preparation time for food. However, you can use the Fulfillments feature of the Orders API to track the progress of an order. When you create an order, you can add a fulfillment object to define and track the fulfillment status and details. As the order moves through fulfillment states (like ‘preparing’ or ‘ready for pickup’), the Orders API automatically updates the status field. This can give your users an idea of the progress of their order, but it doesn’t provide a specific preparation time estimate.
