Using Business Periods

To work with business periods, you need to assign their usage by linking them to elements of other directories.

In the directory Settings > Head Office > Business Periods:

• Select the desired business period, then click the gear icon ("Open Business Periods Usage Parameters") in the "Settings" menu.

• In the left pane, select the created business period, drag it to the "Items sequence editing mode" (center area), and specify usage conditions in the inspector settings.
  Example: The "Day" business period is linked to the "Lunch 12 to 16" period.
  

Multiple business periods can be used in one restaurant, each with different usage conditions. The usage order is bottom-to-top or right-to-left.
