Task: To set hours for a split shift.

Users might need to block out a portion of each day, or part of a day each week to have staff meetings, update inventory, or take care of other rhythm-of-business details. During these times, users might not want to schedule customer appointments. The Bookings app allows for that.

Assuming the business has meetings every Thursday from 1 to 2:30 and want to block out that time so all staff members can attend.

 

Instructions

Step 1 - On the Business information page, under Business hours, select a start and end time for Thursdays. In this example, we'll set 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Step 2 - Select + to create a new row for Thursday.
