Setting Hours for Each Day

For each day of the week, you can:

  1. Toggle trading on/off - Use the switch on the right
  2. Set time blocks - Enter opening and closing times
  3. Add multiple blocks - Click the + button to add morning and evening sessions

Day Actions Menu

Each day has an overflow menu (⋮) on the right. The options vary by day:

Split Button

Each time block has a split button. Click it to divide one block into two - useful for adding lunch breaks.

Example:

  • Start with: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Click split
  • Result: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

This is faster than entering the same hours repeatedly.

Public Holiday Policy

At the bottom of the dialogue, you'll see:

Closed by default on public holidays (checkbox)

  • Checked: You're closed on all public holidays unless you add an exception
  • Unchecked: You're open with normal hours on public holidays unless you add an exception

Most pharmacies check this box and then add exceptions for specific holidays they want to open.

Saving Changes

Click Save Changes at the bottom. Your new hours take effect immediately and update booking availability.
