When configuring your Hours in Birrdi, it’s important to understand how daily time ranges work.
There are only 24 hours in a single day, and hours must be set per day of the week:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Each day must have its own open/close time.
🚫 Why “9:00 AM – 2:00 AM” Doesn’t Work
A single day cannot span into the next calendar day.
For example:
Setting 9:00 AM – 2:00 AM on Monday is not valid.
2:00 AM belongs to Tuesday, not Monday.
Birrdi treats each day independently, so overnight hours must be handled differently.
✅ If You Are Open 24 Hours
If your business operates 24 hours per day:
Set each day to:
12:00 AM – 11:59 PM
You must do this for every day of the week that you are open.
✅ If You Are Open Late (Example: Open Until 2:00 AM)
Example scenario:
Open at 9:00 AM
Close at 2:00 AM (the following day)
Here’s the correct setup:
Step 1: Set Regular Hours to 24 Hours
For each day of the week, set:
12:00 AM – 11:59 PM
This keeps the calendar fully open.
Step 2: Use a Repeating Hidden Custom Event
Instead of using Hours to define overnight closures:
Create a Custom Event
Set it to Repeat Weekly
Mark it as Hidden
Use it to block the hours you are closed (for example, 2:00 AM – 9:00 AM)
This ensures:
Your availability displays correctly
Bookings behave properly
Overnight schedules are handled cleanly
🎯 Why This Is Required
Birrdi’s Hours are designed to operate within a single calendar day.
If your business spans past midnight:
Hours alone cannot represent this.
Custom Events are the correct and supported way to manage overnight closures.
