When should you enter specific hours?
Specific hours must be entered in two cases:
On days when your normal opening hours are changed (exceptional closing/opening, change of opening times).
On bank holidays. By default, Google considers your opening times change for these holidays. If you don't specify any special times, Google will display an orange "These times are subject to change", while if you do, your profile will display a green "Specific hours for this day".
