| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Timezone**       | The time zone your business runs in. Bookings and hours use this time.    |
| **Currency**       | The currency you charge and take payments in, such as AUD.                |
| **Date format**    | How dates are shown, such as `31/12/2024` or `31 Dec 2024`.               |
| **Time format**    | 12-hour (`3:30 pm`) or 24-hour (`15:30`).                                 |
| **Week starts on** | The first day of the week in your calendar — Monday, Sunday, or Saturday. |
| **Default locale** | The language and regional formatting, such as English (Australia).        |

<Note>
  Each location also has its own timezone for its hours and bookings. Your organisation timezone here is the default for your business as a whole.
