The Hour Exceptions screen allows you to set certain days, or parts of days, as times that the store is not open. These are 'exceptions' to your normal business hours.

This is useful if you have a certain day of the year in which you are closed and want to set your Kiosk to automatically reflect the closed status.


The main screen shows any dates or times that you have already set up as exceptions:
