# Setting your opening hours

Your hours drive both the calendar and what clients can book.

## What it is

Your weekly opening hours. They decide the calendar's time range and, crucially, the only times clients can book online.

## Why it helps

One source of truth means clients can never book when you are closed, and your calendar always reflects your real day.

## How to use it

1. Open Settings and set open and close times for each day.
2. Mark days you are closed.
3. Block off one-off breaks or holidays from the calendar's Blocked times panel.
