Set opening hours

Your opening hours are defined by your schedules. Create slots with specific times to control when customers can pick up and return boats.

How schedules control availability​

Schedules determine your operating hours through:

Slot times - When boats can be picked up and returned

Booking windows - In weekly schedules, the time range when bookings are available

Rental duration - Customers can only book if pickup + rental duration fits within your schedule

Creating a split-day schedule​

Example: Open 9-12 and 14-18 for bookings, but allow boats on water 9-18.

Key points:

  • Morning slot: 9:00-12:00 pickup, allows rentals until 18:00
  • Afternoon slot: 14:00-18:00 pickup, allows rentals until 18:00
  • Gap 12:00-14:00: No pickups, but existing rentals continue
  • Boats can be on water continuously 9:00-18:00

Schedule types​

Slot-based schedules​

Define exact pickup times (e.g., 9:00, 11:00, 14:00, 16:00). Customers select from available slots.

Weekly schedules​

Set a booking window (e.g., 9:00-18:00). Customers pick any time within that range.

Multiple schedules​

Create different schedules for:

  • Seasonal hours - Summer vs winter operating times
  • Weekday vs weekend - Different availability patterns
  • Special events - Temporary schedule changes

Assign schedules to dock-boat combinations in rental setup.

Tips​

Buffer time: End your last slot 30-60 minutes before actual closing to allow for returns and inspection.

Lunch breaks: Use separate morning/afternoon slots to block midday pickups while allowing ongoing rentals.

Timezone: Schedules automatically use your dock's timezone for accurate local times.

Immediate effect: Schedule changes apply instantly to new bookings. Existing reservations remain valid.
