Service period

A defined operating window such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch or a ticketed sitting.

Why it matters

How service period affects a service

Service periods group availability, menus, duration, capacity and commercial rules into an operational unit. A venue may configure very different rules for lunch and dinner.

Example

In practice

Saturday can include a 12:00–15:00 lunch service and a separate 18:30–23:00 dinner service.
