This table contains templates for the dining area plan that specifies when the dining area is open, which sections are open and what dining area layout is in use at each time.
The program automatically creates a dining area plan for each day by using the dining area plan templates. It picks the first template with the highest priority that is valid for the day. If there is no template valid for the day, the dining area is closed that day.
For each template you set a date schedule that specifies when the template is valid. You can for example set up one template for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, the second for Friday and the third one for the weekend. You can have the weekend template also valid on holidays (regardless of the day of the week). You can have templates for specific functions valid on specific dates by giving them higher priority.
For each template you specify a time schedule that divides the day into periods and you can specify dining duration for each period. The periods can go past midnight, for example, the night period can last from 18 to 1 after midnight.
For each period you specify which layout is in use. You also specify whether the dining area is open or not and for each dining area section whether it is open or not. These aspects can all be change for the dining area plan itself.
