When your hours of operation change for a brief period of time, like for a special event, you can set special hours so that your regular hours don't change.
Manage your businessHow it works
You can set special hours if your business temporarily adjusts its hours of operation or remains closed for up to 6 days in a row.
When necessary, you can schedule special business hours for:
- Holidays
- Special events
- Other exceptional circumstances
It's a good idea to confirm your hours for official holidays, even if they’re the same as your regular hours. This makes it clear to customers that your special hours are accurate.
