How to Manage Table Reservation Hours

How to Manage Table Reservation Hours


Overview


The Book a table Hours settings allow restaurant owners to configure the days and times when customers can request table reservations through the storefront.


You can set different operating hours for each day, mark specific days as closed, enable 24-hour availability, and add multiple time slots for the same day.


Where to Find It


Go to Settings → Table Reservation → Book a table Hours.




How to Configure Table Reservation Hours


1. Enable Separate Reservation Hours


Enable Set different operating hours for Book a table service to configure reservation hours separately from your restaurant's default business hours.


2. Configure Each Day


For every day from Monday to Sunday:


  • Open: Enable or disable reservation availability for that day.
  • 24 Hours: Enable this option if reservations should be available throughout the day.
  • Hours: Select the opening and closing times for reservation availability.


3. Add Multiple Time Slots


If your restaurant accepts reservations during separate periods, you can configure multiple time slots for the same day.


  1. Set the first opening and closing time.
  2. Click + Add slot.
  3. Select the opening and closing time for the additional slot.
  4. Repeat if you need more slots.
  5. Use the X button beside a slot to remove it if it is no longer required.


Example: If reservations are available from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and again from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, configure two separate time slots.


4. Set Closed Days


If your restaurant does not accept reservations on a particular day, disable the Open toggle for that day.


5. Save Your Changes


After reviewing the hours for all seven days, click Save Hours to apply your settings.


Example Configuration


Suppose your restaurant accepts reservations during these hours:


  • Monday: 9:00 AM–2:00 PM and 6:00 PM–10:00 PM
  • Tuesday–Sunday: 9:00 AM–10:00 PM


Configure two slots for Monday and the appropriate hours for the remaining days. If a day is unavailable for reservations, disable its Open toggle.


Important Notes


  • These settings control table reservation availability, not necessarily your restaurant's opening hours for other services.
  • Enabling separate reservation hours lets you configure the reservation schedule independently.
  • Multiple slots are useful when reservations are accepted during separate periods.
  • Available booking times are also affected by your General settings, including the time interval and booking lead time.
  • Make sure the selected hours reflect when your restaurant can accept reservations.
  • Always click Save Hours after making changes.


Final Checklist


Before finishing, confirm that:


  • Separate reservation hours are enabled if required.
  • Each day's availability is correct.
  • Opening and closing times are accurate.
  • Multiple time slots are configured where needed.
  • Closed days are disabled.
  • You clicked Save Hours.
  • The storefront displays the expected reservation availability.
