Day Parts

The Day Parts subtab is where Day Parts can be defined for both the 'Variable Labor' subtab and the Schedule. Any number of Day Parts can be created, as long as each name is unique and Start and End Times do not overlap. 

Day Parts can also be set up in the Schedule Calendar.

Day Part Settings Subtab

The Day Part Settings subtab is where the hour configurations are made for each Day Part, based on the selected day. Only Day Parts with hours defined for the day will appear in Scheduling and the Forecasting page page.

Day parts should include all open hours where sales are expected. Otherwise, if using the Day Part option for Variable Labor, the Hourly Forecast page will not generate suggested labor outside of day parts.

Each day of the week can have unique Day Part Settings, or the configurations from one day can be copied to other days. As many Day Parts as needed can be added to a single day. 

Start Times and End Times for each Day Part fall on the hour. A single Day Part has a minimum length of 1 hour and a maximum length of 24 hours.
