New Year's Eve and bank holiday bookings

Bank holidays are either your best day or the day you are shut. Either way, the booking page needs to match what is really happening, or you end up with a table for six turning up at a closed door.

Quick answer. Add any day you are closed under Special closures in Opening hours. For a night that works differently, such as New Year's Eve, set it up as an event on Pro with its own capacity, price and deposit. Do both a month or two before.

Days you are closed

Go to Opening hours and scroll to Special closures. Add the date and a short reason, for example "Christmas Day". Customers see those days as closed and cannot book them. Our closing and special hours guide has pictures.

Days you are open but different

Opening hours are set by day of the week, so a bank Monday looks like any Monday. If a bank holiday works differently, for example a set menu and no ordinary bookings, set it up as an event under Events and menus (Pro). Give it the date, times, capacity and price, and tick Close normal table bookings for this date and time to stop ordinary bookings that day.

New Year's Eve

This is normally a set menu night with a deposit. Add a set menu, then an event with a Price a head and a Deposit a head. Deposits need your own Stripe account connected under Deposits. See Christmas bookings for the same method over the festive period.

Do it early

People plan these days weeks ahead. Add your closures and events as soon as you know them. You can edit an event later.

Can I have different hours just for one bank holiday?

Not as a separate setting. Use a closure if you are shut, or an event with its own times if you are open for a special night.

What happens to bookings already made on a day I add as a closure?

Check the day in your Bookings list first and contact any guests who have already booked.

Do events need Pro?

Yes. Special closures work on every plan.

Can I take deposits for New Year's Eve?

Yes, on Pro, with your own Stripe account. The deposit goes into your bank through Stripe.
