Managing opening hours

This article explains how to manage Opening Hours for your locations, how to set Operating Hours for your location/s, and how to configure job schedules to align with your venue’s opening and closing times.

Using Opening Hours ensures that tasks are completed before operations begin or after they end, helping your teams stay ahead of daily routines. It reduces the need for manual scheduling by automating due times based on when your venue opens and closes. This improves consistency and efficiency across locations while still allowing for location-specific flexibility and standardization.

📍 What are opening hours?

Opening Hours define the times your venue is open for operation each day. These hours can be customized for each location and used to calculate job due times more intelligently — such as setting a task to be due 2 hours before opening, at opening, at closing, or 1 hour after closing.
