What are Holiday Hours?
Google My business has a handy feature that lets you set special hours for Holidays, without changing your regular hours. In this article, we'll cover the ways you can manage your Holiday Hours within Stratus.
Note: For Holiday Hours to be pushed out to Google My Business, each location must be connected to Google My Business
Adding Holiday Hours to one location
Step 1: In Stratus, go to the Locations page and click on the location you want to add Holiday Hours for
Step 2: On the location page, click on the Details Tab
Step 3: Scroll down to the Hours of Operation section and click on Add Holiday
Step 4: Click on the dropdown and select the Holiday you want to add. If the Holiday you want to add is not a Federal Holiday, just click on Custom Holiday
Step 5: After you select the Federal Holiday (or Custom Holiday), set whether the location will be open or closed, and what the hours will be. Federal Holidays can be set to Recurring, which will automatically apply the updated hours each year, going forward
If your business or locations have certain days that are closed or have special hours, like a customer appreciation day or a Staff retreat closure, creating a Custom Holiday is a great way to adjust those hours.
Step 6: Click on Save Changes
Adding Holiday Hours to multiple locations
Step 1: In Stratus, go to the Locations page. Select the locations you'd like to add Holiday Hours for using the checkbox next to each location. You can also check the Select All Checkbox in the toolbar to select all your locations
Step 2: Click on the Manage Hours button and then select Add Holiday Hours
Step 3: Click on the dropdown and select the Holiday you want to add. If the Holiday you want to add is not a Federal Holiday, just click on Custom Holiday
Step 4: After you select the Federal Holiday (or Custom Holiday), set whether the locations will be open or closed, and what the hours will be. Federal Holidays can be set to Recurring, which will automatically apply the updated hours each year, going forward
Step 5: Click on Save Changes. The Holiday Hours will be pushed to Google My Business for all selected locations
