Opening hours

Set the weekly opening hours of a branch, copy Sunday to every day, mark late closings and days off.

Goal

Each day of the week has its opening and closing time (or is marked closed), saved for the branch.

Before you start

A branch (see Add a branch)
Owner or admin access, or the branch manager of this branch

Guests see Open now or Closed and the hours on the About page of your menu, based on what you set here. Times use the time zone of the branch, shown above the list (for a branch in Muscat: Asia/Muscat).

Open the hours of the branch

On the Branches page click Edit hours on the branch card. You can also open Manage branch and choose the tab Opening hours.

Handle a day that closes after midnight

If a day opens in the evening and closes after midnight, for example from 18:00 to 02:00, the closing time looks earlier than the opening time and the day turns red: Closing time must be after opening time — or tick “Closes after midnight”. Tick Closes after midnight. A note confirms Closes at 02:00 AM the next day. (the time format follows your browser).

Mark a day off

Turn on Closed all day for a day when the branch is closed. Its time fields are switched off, and guests see the branch as closed that day.
