What is opening hours?

Opening hours are the listing information about business days and times, including holiday hours and exceptions from the regular weekly schedule.

Why it matters

Outdated hours are the fastest way to lose trust: a customer arrives at a closed door and leaves a bad review. Accuracy builds confidence in every visit.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the full weekly schedule.
  2. Add holiday hours before every holiday.
  3. Mark breaks if you close during the day.
  4. Update hours immediately, not after the fact.
