When you set up Open hours and Online reservation hours those settings will apply to all weekdays ahead.
However, sometimes you need to add an exception. You want to turn on or off reservations for a specific day. Here's how you can do that.
First, go to Admin Panel -> Availability -> Hours -> Online reservation hours and check your existing settings:
Enable specific timeslots
If you want to make one day available that is usually closed for online reservations, follow these steps:
Click on Add New exception at the bottom of the page
Select the date and hours
Make sure the button has been toggled ON (orange) - that means Hostme will allow online reservations for that date.
Note: Exceptions will allow the hours that are closed by default to be open on a specific day. Please make sure that time range is adjusted correctly.
Disable specific timeslots
In case you want to close the restaurant for a specific day or period, you can do that with exceptions too. Here is how:
Add a new exception
Select the date/period and hours and make sure the button has been toggled OFF (grey). That means the restaurant will be closed for reservations on that day.
Always make sure to save the changes.
Enable or disable a time range within a date
If you need to enable or disable just a part of the day for any reason, here's how to properly set it up.
In our example, online reservations will not be available 3-6PM on Friday 31 October despite having all the timeslots in between enabled for Fridays by default. Make sure to use the + button next to an exception to set time ranges.
