Each day of the week can have its own unique schedule. This article explains how to configure different hours for different days.
Day-by-Day Configuration
The weekly hours interface shows all seven days:
- Sunday (Day 0)
- Monday (Day 1)
- Tuesday (Day 2)
- Wednesday (Day 3)
- Thursday (Day 4)
- Friday (Day 5)
- Saturday (Day 6) Each day is independent—you can set completely different hours for each.
Configuring a Weekday
Most businesses have consistent weekday hours. To set them:
- Navigate to Availabilities > Schedules
- Add slots to Monday with your standard hours
- Use the Duplicate feature to copy to other weekdays
Duplicating Slots to Other Days
- Click on an existing time slot to expand it
- Click the Duplicate button
- Select which days should receive a copy
- The slot is copied with identical times and settings This saves time when multiple days share the same schedule.
Weekend Hours
Weekends often differ from weekdays. Common patterns:
Extended weekend hours:
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM (longer dinner service)
Sunday: 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM (later start, earlier close) Weekend-only services:
Brunch: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (Saturday and Sunday only) Reduced weekend hours:
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (half day)
Sunday: Closed
Different Services by Day
Some businesses offer different services on different days:
Restaurant example:
Monday-Friday: Lunch and Dinner
Saturday-Sunday: Brunch, Lunch, and Dinner Spa example:
Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (couples treatments only)
Sunday: Closed Configure each day's slots to match the services available.
Time Slot Best Practices
Avoid Overlaps
Slots on the same day cannot overlap. The system validates this:
- Valid: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM (adjacent)
- Invalid: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM and 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM (overlapping)
Leave Buffer Time
If you need transition time between services, leave gaps between slots:
- Lunch: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
- Setup break: 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM (no slot)
- Dinner: 2:30 PM - 10:00 PM
Be Realistic
Set hours you can actually maintain. It's better to have accurate hours than optimistic ones that lead to cancellations.
Viewing Your Full Week
The Schedules tab shows your entire week at a glance. Each day displays:
- Number of time slots configured
- Total hours of operation
- Slot names (if named) Use this overview to ensure your week is configured correctly before saving.
Saving Day Configurations
Remember to click Update Availabilities after making changes. All seven days are saved together—you don't need to save each day individually.
