    How Business Hours Work for Staff, Services, and the Whole Business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Book24Seven supports three levels<\/strong> of working hours. These follow a specific priority order<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Priority<\/th>Level<\/th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    1st<\/td>Staff<\/a> Working Hours<\/strong><\/td>If set, these override all other settings<\/td><\/tr>
    2nd<\/td>Service<\/a> Working Hours<\/strong><\/td>These hours apply when no specific schedule is set for staff.<\/td><\/tr>
    3rd<\/td>Business Working Hours<\/strong><\/td>The system uses business hours if no specific schedule is set for staff or services.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Example: When a staff member has their own schedule, customers can only book within those hours\u2014overriding business or service-level availability.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Setting Weekly Business Hours in Your Booking System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In Book24Seven, business hours are defined by day of the week with specific time intervals, giving you control over when clients can book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Set start and end time<\/strong> for each day (e.g., 9:00 AM \u2013 6:00 PM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Mark any day as a \u201cDay-off\u201d<\/strong> (no bookings allowed on that day)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For 24\/7 availability<\/strong>, set time as 00:00 \u2013 24:00<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"Weekly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Important Notes When Setting Business Hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The booking panel shows only the available time slots based on the effective working hours, which follow the set priority order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • When you mark a day as day-off, the system disables bookings for that entire day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Use service-specific or staff-specific overrides only when you need extra flexibility or exceptions to your general business availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Final Tips on Managing Business Hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        • Mark specific days off or set 24\/7 availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
