Configure holidays

Holidays are an important time for businesses & if your store is operating over the holiday period, you will need to set up store closures and/or surcharges in MOBI to cover the extra costs that will be incurred.

Remember

Store hours are set at a Store level, not at a Head Office level (unless you are a single-store Head Office.) If you are at a Head Office level, please ensure your stores are all aware of the changes required for holidays.

 

Setting a Surcharge

  1. In MOBI (from the store level) click SETTINGS from the grey navigational pane
  2. In Settings locate Holidays on the right-hand side of the page, click EDIT
  3. In Holidays click ➕ ADD
  4. Click Add Surcharge
  5. Select the date that you would like the surcharge to be applied to
  6. Under Surcharge, click in the field to enter a value, click SAVE

Key Points

  • Currently the holiday hours and surcharge can't be applied for the same day. For this to happen, you'll need to manually change the store hours for the day you require holiday hours and a surcharge applied.
  • When adding a new hours override, the default hours shown are not the existing opening hours the location already has for that day
  • Overrides here apply to all opening hours types: pickup, delivery, and eat-in
  • Hours overrides support spillover to the next day just like opening hours do; if a store wishes to stay open until 2am the night of a holiday, they may do so
  • Opening hours overrides for a given day do not affect hours spillover from the previous day. So in the example above, if the store were usually open until 2:00am the night of the 23rd, the override in the screenshot above would not stop that from happening as usual. If a store wishes to close earlier the previous day, they need to add an additional override for that day as well
  • The storefront adjusts available time slots to match the hours override, but does not automatically give an indication that hours are different on a given day; it is up to the store to communicate their adjusted hours to customers as they see fit.
