OpeningHoursSpecification

A Schema.org Type
A structured value providing information about the opening hours of a place or a certain service inside a place.

The place is open if the opens property is specified, and closed otherwise.

If the value for the closes property is less than the value for the opens property then the hour range is assumed to span over the next day.
PropertyExpected TypeDescription
Properties from OpeningHoursSpecification
closes Time The closing hour of the place or service on the given day(s) of the week.
dayOfWeek DayOfWeek The day of the week for which these opening hours are valid.
opens Time The opening hour of the place or service on the given day(s) of the week.
validFrom Date  or
DateTime
The date when the item becomes valid.
validThrough Date  or
DateTime
The date after when the item is not valid. For example the end of an offer, salary period, or a period of opening hours.
Properties from Thing
additionalType Text  or
URL
An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.
alternateName Text An alias for the item.
description Text  or
TextObject
A description of the item.
disambiguatingDescription Text A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
identifier PropertyValue  or
Text  or
URL
The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
image ImageObject  or
URL
An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
mainEntityOfPage CreativeWork  or
URL
Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details.
Inverse property: mainEntity
name Text The name of the item.
potentialAction Action Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
sameAs URL URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.
subjectOf CreativeWork  or
Event
A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.
Inverse property: about
url URL URL of the item.

Instances of OpeningHoursSpecification may appear as a value for the following properties
PropertyOn TypesDescription
businessDays ShippingDeliveryTime Days of the week when the merchant typically operates, indicated via opening hours markup.
hoursAvailable ContactPoint  or
LocationFeatureSpecification  or
Service
