Holidays and calendar

The holiday calendar records your Organization’s non-working days. You’ll find it in the Holidays menu (sectors with a food service).

Views and loading

• Year view, Month view and Table view (buttons at the top right). The legend distinguishes Fixed holidays from Recurring ones.
• Create Holiday: add one by hand.
• Import: brings in a country’s public holidays for a year (for example, Colombia 2026) in a single step. Those that already exist are skipped.

Holiday details

Field	Description
Name	Required, up to 120 characters (for example, “Independence Day”).
Date	Required.
Description	Optional, up to 500 characters.
Repeats every year?	If you turn it on, the holiday repeats every year on the same day and month. It is off by default.
Active	Whether the holiday is in effect. On by default.

Note

Within the same Organization, the combination of name and date can’t be repeated.

What they are used for

Active holidays are subtracted from the business days in the billing of per business day plans: the amount of a period’s invoice is calculated without counting those days (see Create a plan). Fixed price plans don’t change.

Caution

Today holidays are not subtracted from menu planning: the weekly menu check and the shopping list count Monday to Friday. If a holiday falls on a weekday and you don’t publish a menu, it may show up as a missing day.

Tip

Turn on Repeats every year? for fixed-date holidays (New Year’s Day, Christmas). That way you don’t have to register them again every year. Import the holidays whose date changes (Holy Week, holidays moved to Monday) every year.

If you delete a holiday it no longer applies; if you only deactivate it, it is kept but is no longer subtracted.
