Hours are a promise
If your menu says open and the door is locked, the customer remembers the failure more than the food.
Accurate hours are basic hospitality.They also affect whether someone even starts the journey. Diners browsing late at night need to know whether to order now or plan for tomorrow.
Example: late browse vs posted hours

Recommendation
Confirm late hours or publish a clear closed stateGuests are browsing and requesting directions after 9 PM. If you close at 9, say so on the TTMenus location hours. If you stay open, staff WhatsApp for that window.
Where hours go wrong
- Holiday schedules never updated
- One location’s hours copied to another
- Social posts say open; listings say closed
- Temporary closures not reflected on the digital menu
Data to decisions
| What the data says | What to do |
|---|---|
| Browse spikes after posted close | Confirm late hours or publish a clear closed state |
| Complaints about locked doors | Align every public listing the same day |
| Multiple locations | Give each outlet its own accurate schedule on TTMenus |
The takeaway
Update hours with the same urgency you update sold-out dishes. Trust compounds, and so does broken trust.
