Branches, hours & service days

Set up branch scope and verify operations across midnight.

Before you begin

Agreed branch codes, capacities and operating hours.

Where to go

Locations → Branch / business-type settings

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Create branches with recognizable codes such as MAIN and BR02. Check register and stock-location assignments.
  2. For retail, set the store timezone and branch profile to the actual trading day; verify shift, tax-document, report and overnight-order dates.
  3. For board games, set the timezone in Settings → Store profile, then select the branch under Board-game tables to configure displayed hours and booking policy. The daily hours editor is in Analytics and does not automatically restrict booking hours.
  4. For restaurants, review service-day settings. Queue numbers and sold-out-today entries follow the service day, not necessarily midnight.
  5. Board-game queues use a 04:00 service-day boundary in the store timezone: 01:00 belongs to the previous service day. Test midnight and 04:00. Staff must review holiday bookings; holiday text and Analytics closed days do not block reservations.

How to verify success

Registers have the right branch, published and bookable hours agree, and midnight tests pass.

Limits & things to check

Timezone, calendar date, service day and shift period are different. Specify the reporting period when reconciling.
