Time of Day ยท Schedule condition # A time based QR code that changes with the hour A time based QR code opens a different page depending on when it is scanned. The Time of Day condition sends each scan down the path of the time range it falls in, like 17:00 to 19:00, in the visitor's local time; any other time takes Other Times.

The first range that contains the current time wins. The time is the visitor's local time, from where they scan. What you end up with Guests see what is on now, breakfast, lunch, happy hour or dinner, without anyone changing a link. Use it when * Menus that change through the day. * Opening hours: a booking page while you are open, a message while you are closed. * Happy hour offers. Worked example ## Happy hour from 5 to 7, dinner after 1. 1Put a Time of Day condition right after the scan with one range, "Happy hour": 17:00 to 19:00. 2. 2Connect Happy hour to the happy-hour menu and Other Times to the dinner menu. 3. 3Add a second range, 11:30 to 14:30, for lunch, if you serve it. Guests always see what is on now, and the menu switches by itself. How it fits ## Where the time of day condition sits Put the condition right after the scan. Each time range is a path, and Other Times catches the rest of the day.

FAQ ## Time based QR code questions Can a QR code change by time of day? Yes. A Time of Day condition sends scans inside each time range to its own page, and every other time to Other Times. Can a range cross midnight? No. For 22:00 to 06:00, add two ranges: 22:00 to 23:59 and 00:00 to 06:00. Are the end times included? Yes, to the minute: 17:00 to 19:00 matches until 19:00 and 59 seconds. Whose time is used? The visitor's local time, from where they scan; then your workspace's time zone, then UTC.
