Click on the Specification panel to expand it. Let's suppose the Breakfast for employees item must be available for sale only from 08:00 to 10:00, Lunch for employees from 12:00 to 16:00, and Dinner for employees from 18:00 to 20:00. Therefore, the price schedule must have the following intervals: from the beginning of the business day to 08:00, from 08:00 to 10:00, from 10:00 to 12:00, from 12:00 to 16:00, from 16:00 to 18:00, from 18:00 to 20:00, and from 20:00 to the end of the business day.
