Schedules Setup
You can setup multiple Schedules within TablesReady in the Settings > Schedules section.
Your first/primary Schedule should be your overall hours of operation, then additional schedules can narrow that window for different services you might have. For example, in a restaurant, you might create 4 separate Schedules, like so:
- Business Hours: 11:00am - 11:00pm
- Lunch Service: 11:00am - 3:00pm
- Happy Hour: 4:00pm - 6:00pm, 9:00pm - 11:00pm
- Dinner Service: 5:00pm - 10:00pm
All secondary schedules must fit within your primary Business Hours. For example, you can't have your Business Hours set as 9:00am to 5:00pm, then have a second Schedule from 1:00pm to 8:00pm. Your Business Hours would need to be 9:00am to 8:00pm to accommodate the entirety of your availability.
