NOTE: Times can auto-populate. If all your hours are the same for all the days in your date range, you can enter them in just once and the dates and times will auto-populate for all the days.

How the Store Hours are Displayed:

• Once set, the hours will shown on your online menu right away!
• Custom Store Hours will have the specific date (e.g. Sat, April 20, 2024) associated with them listed on the menu. If the day does not have a specific date attached to it, then that day has regular store hours.
• Your online menu will show the days and hours for the span of a week, so all custom dates and hours may not show right away, but it will adjust accordingly on its own.
