Quarter
Holiday rows — plan and check four surfaces
Holiday / event Date Planned hours GBP Site Voicemail Reservation system Notes
Set GBP special hours at least two weeks ahead so Google's index catches up. Voicemail is the surface most operators forget.
Holidays planned this quarter 0
Surfaces still to update 0

List the holidays. Check the boxes as each surface gets updated. Two-week lead time on GBP keeps the diner from seeing yesterday's hours.

When to use it

Pull this sheet out when —

  • First week of each quarter — plan three months of holidays at once.
  • Right after a holiday week — review what missed and capture the lessons.
  • Before any planned closure — staff vacation, equipment swap, private buyout.
Common mistakes

What operators get wrong

  • Forgetting voicemail. Google and the website agree; the recording still says "Open daily."
  • Setting Google special hours less than two weeks ahead — slow indexing means the diner sees stale info.
  • Using GBP "closed" instead of "closes early" for an early shutdown — "closed" all day suppresses the listing.
