Cheyytec Business Hours & Open Now

Cheyytec Business Hours & Open Now is the simplest way to display your opening hours on your WordPress site — and to tell visitors, in real time, whether you are open right now.

Set your weekly schedule on one easy screen, then drop a shortcode wherever you want the hours to appear: a page, a post, a sidebar or the footer. The “open now” badge updates automatically based on the current time in your site’s timezone.

Perfect for restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, salons, clinics, gyms and any local business with regular opening hours.

Key features

• Weekly schedule editor — set opening and closing times for each day, or mark a day as closed.
• Live “Open now / Closed” badge — automatically reflects the current time in your site’s timezone.
• Two simple shortcodes — [cheyytec_opening_hours] for the full schedule, [cheyytec_open_now] for the badge.
• Today is highlighted in the schedule table so visitors spot it instantly.
• Uses your site’s time format (12h or 24h) automatically.
• Lightweight — the stylesheet loads only on pages that use a shortcode.
• Works with the block editor, classic editor, widgets and most page builders.
