Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to reify one opening-hours window so its day(s), open time, and close time stay paired — necessary whenever a business has more than one window (weekday vs weekend).

Avoid when

• Avoid a flat hours string on the organization (it loses the day/open/close pairing when several windows coexist) and avoid spanning incompatible days in one window; mint a separate window per distinct schedule.

How to use

• Mint one gmeow:OpeningHoursSpecification per window, set gmeow:openingDay (one or more), gmeow:opensAt, and gmeow:closesAt on it, and attach it with gmeow:hasOpeningHours.
