set your services.

Lunch, dinner, a late seating — the services guests can reserve for, and the days each one runs.

In short

Settings ▸ Shifts → tap a service, or Add a shift → name, times, days → Save shift.

A service (the app calls them shifts) is a stretch of the day you take reservations for. Between services you're still open for walk-ins — you just don't take reservations then. Most restaurants run two: Lunch and Dinner.

Open Settings, then Shifts

Your week at a glance, with each service drawn on it

The picture at the top shows your week: the pale band is your opening hours, and each service sits inside it, in its own colour. Under it is the list of services, with their times and days.

Tap a service, or Add a shift

Changing a service: name, times, days
  • Name — tap a ready-made one (Lunch, Dinner, Brunch, Late night…) or type your own.
  • Times — when it starts and ends. Past midnight is fine: Ends after midnight, the next morning.
  • Days it runs — tap the days, M to S.
  • Different times on some days — when one day runs later than the rest, like a longer Friday.

Check the line under it, then save

A green line means you're done: ✓ Fits inside your opening hours on every day it runs. Tap Save shift (or Add shift for a new one) — Shifts saved.

If something doesn't fit — the service runs past closing, say — the line says so in red and offers a fix in one tap, like Close Fri at 12:30 AM. Tap it, then save.

Removing a service

Open it and tap Remove, then Tap again — remove. Nobody's reservation is cancelled: any that no longer fall inside a service show in Book as needing a new time.
