Working hours

Hours at /platform/hours control when bookings are allowed. Each practitioner has their own weekly schedule. The storefront only offers slots when at least one practitioner is working.

Hours page

Per-practitioner only

Section titled “Per-practitioner only”

There are no salon-wide hours — every practitioner sets their own. If you’re a solo operator, that’s just your row. If you’re a team, switch between people using the chip-row above the day list.

Set hours

Section titled “Set hours”
  1. /platform/hours → pick the practitioner.
  2. For each day Mon–Sun, tick the box if they work that day, then set start and end times.
  3. (Optional) tap Copy Monday to Mon–Sat to fill the rest of the week with the same hours.
  4. Save hours.

If a practitioner doesn’t have hours saved at all, the booking flow defaults to a Mon–Sat 09:00–17:00 window but will not actually accept a booking against them until you save real hours. If the storefront says “no slots available”, check the hours page first.

Booking-window rules

Section titled “Booking-window rules”

Hours say when the salon is open. Three other settings in Setup → Booking control how far ahead and how late a client may book:

  • Min advance hours — earliest a client may book (e.g. 2 hours from now)
  • Max advance days — furthest ahead they may book (e.g. 60 days out)
  • Cancellation notice hours — how late they may cancel without penalty

What’s not in Hours today

Section titled “What’s not in Hours today”
  • One-off closures (public holidays, Christmas break) — not yet implemented. For now, the workaround is to un-tick that day temporarily.
  • Buffer time between appointments — not implemented. The schedule packs slot-to-slot.
