posted hours

Displayed operating schedule

Posted hours are the times of operation displayed publicly by a business, office, or facility.

A sign on the door shows when the place opens and closes.

The term implies official or advertised hours as opposed to actual practice: They arrived during posted hours but found the office closed.

Government offices, libraries, and retail stores typically have posted hours visible at their entrances.
