In this article, you’ll learn how to use Stampede’s Day Planner to close out specific time slots, entire days, individual tables, or full areas. This is especially useful for managing service hours, private events, or unexpected closures. You’ll also see how to apply these settings across multiple dates, saving you time and effort.
How to Close Out Time Periods
- Go to the Day Planner
Navigate to the Table Bookings section and click on Day Planner. - Select the Date
Choose the specific date you'd like to close out. - Click 'Close Out'
Select the option to Close Out
Once the screen updates, you’ll see a red “Exit Close Out” button and an option to select time slots in 15-minute intervals.
If you need additional settings such as closing out by day, time, table, or area you can explore more options by dragging a section from this view (shown in grey)
Choose a Time Option:
- Start Time – End Time: e.g. 10:00 - 12:15
- Close All Day
- Close Until End of Day
- Close for the Standard Booking Duration
- Close Until a Specific Time
Close Out Tables or Areas
You can close out specific tables or entire areas:
- Select individual tables (e.g. Table 6)
- Or choose an area from your setup (e.g. Terrace or Main Dining Room)
This flexibility lets you manage your space exactly how you need to.
Apply to Multiple Dates
If you want to close out the same time or area on more than one day:
- Select Multiple Dates
- Apply the settings once
- Stampede will create entries for each date automatically
Pro Tip: Use the Close Until a Specific Time feature when you want to keep morning service unavailable while still taking lunch or evening bookings. This is perfect for maintenance or staggered shift starts.
