3 minUpdated 24 October 2026

Regular hours

Each team member has their own hours in Configure business → Edit → Schedules. A schedule can have dates, so you can set up summer or Christmas hours in advance and they switch on by themselves.

A break or an hour off

  1. 1Open the Calendar and press an empty slot.
  2. 2Choose Blockout, add a reason like "Lunch", and set how long.
  3. 3On a computer or iPad, drag the top or bottom edge of a blockout to change it.

Whole days closed

Add bank holidays, training days and holidays in Configure → Closed dates. Clients can't book those days at all. Turn on Skip days you're closed in Business settings if you'd rather the booking page didn't show them.

How far ahead clients can book

Set the furthest date clients can book in Business settings → Booking Policies. Leave it empty for no limit.
