## Review Each Day

Set availability for each day of the week.

If a day is closed, leave it disabled.

## Review Each Order Type

Set hours separately for:

* Dine in.
* Delivery.
* Pick Up.

Delivery hours may end earlier than dine-in hours if the team needs more time to close.

## Test After Saving

Open the public menu during and outside ordering hours to confirm the customer message makes sense.
