Some businesses close on certain days of the week. This article explains how to mark days as closed in your regular schedule.

Setting a Regular Closing Day

If your business is closed on a specific day every week (like Sunday):

  1. Navigate to Availabilities > Schedules
  2. Find the day you want to close
  3. Remove all time slots from that day
  4. The day shows as having no hours configured When a day has no time slots, it's effectively closed for bookings.

Closed vs No Configuration

There's an important distinction:

  • Day with no slots = Closed for the week
  • Day never configured = Will inherit location defaults if you're at the staff level For location-level schedules, removing all slots closes that day. For staff-level schedules, having no configuration means they follow location hours.

Common Closing Day Patterns

Single Day Closed

Many businesses close one day per week:

  • Restaurants often close Monday
  • Hair salons may close Sunday and Monday
  • Service businesses may close weekends

Multiple Days Closed

Some businesses operate limited schedules:

  • Open Tuesday through Saturday only
  • Weekday-only operation (closed Saturday and Sunday)
  • Three-day weekends (closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

Seasonal Closures

For recurring seasonal patterns (like reduced winter hours), consider using date-specific hours instead of changing your regular schedule.

Removing Time Slots

To close a previously open day:

  1. Click on each time slot for that day
  2. Click the Delete button on each slot
  3. Confirm the deletion
  4. Repeat for all slots on that day Once all slots are removed, the day is closed.

Reopening a Closed Day

To make a closed day available again:

  1. Navigate to the closed day
  2. Click the + button to add a new time slot
  3. Configure the hours as needed
  4. Save your changes

Temporary Closures

For one-time closures (not recurring every week), use date-specific hours instead:

  • Navigate to Availabilities > Date-specific hours
  • Select the specific date
  • Mark it as closed This keeps your regular weekly schedule intact.

Holiday Closures

For national holidays, use the Holidays feature:

  • Navigate to Availabilities > Holidays
  • Enable the relevant holidays
  • The system automatically handles these closures See Managing Your Holiday Calendar for details.

Best Practices

  1. Be consistent — If you're closed Sundays, keep it that way unless business needs change
  2. Update promptly — If your closing day changes, update immediately to avoid missed bookings
  3. Use the right method — Regular closures go in weekly schedule; one-time closures go in date-specific hours
  4. Communicate changes — Let customers know if you're changing regular hours
