Four setups, one engine.

Most businesses with several locations look like one of these. If yours does not, tell us about it.

Restaurant chains

Summer terraces and winter hours, switched over on their own.

Dozens of restaurants, sometimes in several countries. Terraces stay open longer in summer, and each franchise wants to manage its own hours.

  • Public holidays that differ by location and countryHoliday calendars by country, and closing days per restaurant
  • Franchisees who need to update their own restaurantEditor access limited to each franchisee's restaurants
  • The same hours on the website and in the appWidgets for the website, the API for the app

Supermarket chains

24/7 stores and Christmas weeks, in one network.

Some stores never close, others keep regular hours, and the days before a holiday change everything. Counters inside a store often keep hours of their own.

  • Longer opening before Christmas and other holidaysSpecial openings for late-night shopping days
  • Regional differences between town and countryHolidays and schedules set per store

Directories and tourist offices

Thousands of listings in four languages, kept up to date by the owners.

  • Seasonal businesses such as ski resorts or summer attractionsTranslations, with a fallback when one is missing
  • A small team and a tight budgetOwners can edit their own listing

Buvette L'Horloge des Cimes

Mountain café, Champéry

Closed for the season, back on 1 June

Season: June to September

Terrace facing the Dents du Midi, produce from the Val d’Illiez.

Try IT: the Italian description is not written yet, so the French one is shown instead of an empty space.

App and web developers

Opening hours as an API, not as a project.

You are building an app or a site that needs locations and their opening hours, and an opening-hours engine is not the product you set out to build.

  • Location data with opening hours you can rely onA documented REST API with over 100 endpoints
  • An opening-hours engine is costly to build and maintainSearch by distance and autocomplete
  • Fast search by distanceLive open or closed status, worked out for you
  • Photos and reviews alongside the hoursPhotos, reviews and notices included
