![Illustration: Open now, until when](/illustrations/2026-10-08-real-hours.jpg)

"Monday to Friday, 8 to 4" is fine on paper. At 7:45 on a Wednesday night, what you need to know is whether anyone will pick up.

- Places with clear hours now say "Open now until 4 PM", "Open 24 hours", or "Closed now · opens Thursday 8 AM", using the time on your own phone.
- Places that are closed right now move below the ones that are open or might be.
- Each listing shows its week at a glance, with today in bold.
- "Open today" uses the weekly hours when a place has them, and the hours text when it does not.
- Hours are stored day by day in the Open Referral format. We read them from the listing's text only when the text is clear; anything else ("by appointment", "last Saturday of the month") stays as written.
- Staff who manage a listing set their hours day by day in their workspace, with breaks if they close for lunch.
