Set up your location and opening hours
Enter your address and contact details, set your timezone, and configure your opening, delivery and takeaway hours.
Your location is the record that holds your address, your contact details and the hours you are open. Dinerly uses it in a lot of places — on your booking page, on your receipts, and when it works out whether a customer is allowed to order right now — so it is worth filling in properly at the start. You manage all of it in Settings.
Enter your address and details
- In the sidebar, open Settings → General.
- Select the Location Details tab.
- Fill in your details: Location Name, Location Type, Telephone Number, Email Address, Address Line 1 & 2, City, County, Postcode, Country, and Timezone (United Kingdom or Greece).
- Save the block.
The timezone is the one field people tend to skip past, and it is the one that causes the most confusion later. Every time shown in Dinerly is worked out from it, so if it is wrong your opening hours, your bookings and your reports will all be out by the difference.
Set your opening hours
Stay on the same Location Details tab and scroll down to Opening Hours. You will find four separate sets of hours, each under its own heading:
- Business Hours are the hours the restaurant itself is open.
- Reservation Hours, Delivery Hours and Takeaway Hours can each either be set to Same as opening hours, which keeps them following your business hours automatically, or to Custom hours when that part of the business really does run to a different timetable.
For each day you can add one or more time ranges using Start time and End time, tick Open 24 hours if you never close that day, or use Copy to all days so that you only have to type a pattern once. If you leave a day without any times on it, Dinerly treats that day as Closed, which is how you mark your day off.
If every set of hours is the same, Sync across all applies one pattern everywhere in a single step. Remember to Save each section after you have edited it.
Only use custom hours when you genuinely need them. Delivery, takeaway and reservation hours are set to mirror your business hours to begin with, and while that stays true you only have one set of times to keep up to date. The moment you switch a section to custom hours, it stops following your business hours, so if you later change when you open you will have to remember to come back and change that section too.
