Add holidays and days off

The Availability page handles the exceptions to your weekly routine: holidays when no one can book, and special days when the hours are different just once.

Add a holiday (closed all day)

  1. In the sidebar, open Availability.
    The Availability page, with the Holidays card on one side and the Special days card on the other.
  2. In the Holidays card, pick the Date.
  3. In Applies to, choose Business-wide to close the whole business — or Staff / Service to block just one person or one service.
  4. If you chose Staff or Service, pick who or which from the list that appears.
  5. Click Add holiday.

Different hours on one date (Special days)

Special days give a staff member or a service different hours on one specific date — working until 14:00 on Christmas Eve, or opening one Sunday only.

  1. In the Special days card, choose For: Staff or Service, then pick the person or service.
    The Special days card: a For choice of Staff or Service, a Date, and the hours that replace the weekly schedule on that date.
  2. Pick the Date.
  3. Set the hours for that date: tick Open and set start and end times, plus a Break if needed. Untick Open to make it a full day off.
  4. Click Save special day.

Which one wins?

A special day replaces the weekly schedule for that date, exactly as the dashboard describes it. A holiday blocks bookings entirely for whoever it applies to.
