# Category Schedules {% embed url="" %} Our Platform allow you to update and manage your menu’s category hours directly from the platform. If you want certain categories to be available only at specific times (for example, **a Breakfast-only category or a Chinese menu that is available only during dinner hours**), you can use Schedules to define timings for those categories. In the guide below, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a category schedule and associate it with a menu category. ### Create a New Schedule * Navigate to the navigation bar. * Click on "All Apps". * Select "Schedules". * Click on "Create a New Schedule". * Provide a title for your schedule. * Click on "Next" to proceed. ### Add Timings Here, you can add timings based on your needs. Options include daily, weekdays, weekends, or custom timings. * Select the desired timing option. * **Add the timings. Note that timings should be in multiple of 30 minutes.** * If needed, add another timing group. * Click on "Save" to save your schedule. ### Associate Schedule with a Category * Go to the "Catalog" section. * Navigate to "Categories". * Select the desired category to associate the schedule. * Click on "Associate Category Timing". * Click on "Save" to confirm the association. {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** \ \ If there are any subcategories under the parent category, you need to assign timings for each subcategory as well. Navigate to the subcategory and associate the timing accordingly.\ \ Please ensure that the support flag for category schedule is enabled before publishing the menu as shown below. {% endhint %}

### Publish the Menu * Once the timing group is correctly associated, proceed to publish the menu. * Ensure the menu is published on Zomato.
