How to Set Opening Hours

Recommended for: Owners, admins, and managers Time to complete: 10 minutes per branch

Opening hours control when a branch appears available for orders and help your team avoid missed orders outside service time.

Before You Update Hours

Check:

  • the branch you are editing

  • normal weekly trading times

  • whether collection and delivery operate on the same schedule

  • any planned closures or reduced hours

Steps

  1. Open the branch settings for the correct location.

  2. Go to the opening hours section.

  3. Add the opening and closing times for each trading day.

  4. Leave closed days empty or mark them as closed.

  5. Save your changes.

  6. Review the branch status after saving to make sure the times look correct.

Good Setup Rules

  • Use real trading times, not staff arrival times.

  • If the kitchen stops earlier than the shop closes, set order availability to match the last accepted order time.

  • Review hours before weekends, holidays, and special events.

Common Mistakes

  • Setting the wrong branch by accident

  • Leaving a day active with blank or incorrect times

  • Forgetting to update hours for bank holidays or seasonal closures

After You Save

Test the branch from an operational point of view:

  • confirm staff know the opening schedule

  • check that online ordering matches live availability

  • place a test order during open hours if you are launching a new branch
