verified Frequently Asked Questions: Location & Hours
Can I configure 24/7 operating hours?
Yes. Under each day, you can select 'Open 24 Hours', which keeps your status permanently as 'Open Now' on customer profile views.
What happens if I work split hours (e.g. lunch break)?
Telegram allows multiple time intervals per day. For example, you can add 09:00 - 12:00 and 14:00 - 18:00, and during the 12:00 - 14:00 gap, your status automatically shows as 'Closed until 14:00'.
