Closing dates and one-off changes

Bank holidays, staff training days, family weddings, and the inevitable kitchen fire — every restaurant has days when bookings just are not on. Mark them as closed and Make a Rezzy will keep them off your booking widget and your listing.

Closing a single day

  1. Open Availability → Closed Days.
  2. Click Add Closed Day.
  3. Pick the date and save.
  1. Tap Availability, then the Closed Days tab.
  2. Tap Create.
  3. Pick the date and save.

The closure covers the whole day, from midnight to midnight. There is no half-day option — for a partial closure (an early finish on Christmas Eve, for example), see "Closing for part of a day" below.

Closing a stretch of days

Closed Days are added one date at a time — there is no date-range picker. For a longer break (a two-week summer holiday, a refurbishment), add each date individually.

What guests see on a closed day

Guests simply do not see any availability for a closed day and thus are unable to book.

Editing or removing a closure

Find the date in the Closed Days list and use the edit or delete actions inline. Removing a closure re-opens the day to your usual availability template (if there is one for that weekday).

Closing for part of a day

For "closing early" or "opening late" — a Christmas Eve service that wraps up at 18:00, for example — there are two ways:

  • Edit the availability template for that weekday to use the earlier end time. Simple if the change is permanent.
  • Add a one-off availability window for the specific date on the Availability tab. Set the start and end times to the shortened service. This works alongside your weekly template — the one-off window takes precedence on that date. See Services and meal periods for how one-off windows work.

One-off changes that are not closures

Closing Days is for days you are not taking bookings. For dates when you may be closed to the public such as a private hire, a public holiday, etc. You can continue using Make a Rezzy to manage the bookings for that day, but customers will not be able to book through your widget or listing.
