Opening Hours Specification & Special Days

The Opening Hours Specification is a structured value providing information about the opening hours of a place or a certain service inside a place. That’s how it’s described in schema.org

Schema Premium has support for schema.org OpeningHoursSpecification, which mostly will be used in schema:LocalBusiness type.

Opening Hours Specification & Special Days

If you create a new schema.org LocalBusiness type and enabled it on some content on your site, Schema Premium will automatically enable a new post meta box that allows you to specify opening hours and special days.

This post meta box will show in the edit screen:

Opening Hours

You can add two sets of  open  and  close  hours for same day with different times to indicate that the business hours include a break.

Special Days

Use both the  validFrom  and  validThrough  properties to define seasonal hours. (example: shows a business closed for winter holidays)

Opening Hours Examples

Here is a couple of examples of how to define opening hours:

Opening Hours Example #1

In the example above, our local business opens everyday at 8am and closes at 6pm, and it closes on Sundays.

Opening Hours Example #2

Opening Hours Post Meta Box

In this example, our local business opens as the following:

  • Monday: opens at 8am and closes at 6pm.
  • Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday opens at 8am and closes at 11am for a break, then opens again at 12pm and closes at 6am.
