How to handle Store Availability

Introduction

A store's normal business hours are communicated via the "availabilities" array in the menu payload.

Format

Each object in the "availabilities" array will specify a period of store availability as in example below;

"availabilities": [
 {
    "dayOfWeek": 1,
    "startTime": "13:00",
    "endTime": "21:30"
 }
