# How do I add irregular opening hours (eg. public holidays)?

To update your restaurant's opening hours on specific dates or add days in which you are closed, visit [kitchen.tablevibe.co](https://kitchen.tablevibe.co/) > Settings > Locations > Opening hours.

At the bottom of the page, you can set **custom hours days** for special opening times (e.g., closing at 5 PM on Christmas Eve). To mark full-day closures, use **additional closed days**.

We recommend not pausing ordering, as this blocks customers from placing preorders for when you reopen.

**Preorders placed before setting irregular hours (or pausing your store) will not be auto-cancelled**. To cancel them, go to [All Orders](https://kitchen.tablevibe.co/orders/all) and check the "Ordered for" column. If any are placed during closed hours, you can cancel them via [Live Orders](https://kitchen.tablevibe.co/live_orders) > Select Location > Choose the date. Once cancelled, your customer will be automatically updated via SMS and receives a full refund.
