Apple Business Connect for Apple Maps- Hours Display

Will Apple Business Connect allow for hours "by appointmnet only"? Yelp currently feeds the incorrect hours and hoping claiming my business would allow for me to adjust this.

Thanks Eric. The issue I am running into is that there is not the option to not list hours. We are a "by appointment only" salon. While I can adjust the hours, I cannot remove them entirely. When my business was unclaimed, if clients saw the incorrect hours, that was a third party issue. Now that I have claimed my business, it seems as though I have verified those as my hours. This was an issue I also ran into with Google My Business/Maps and Yelp when we shifted to not having set hours. Many small businesses requested this option post Covid and as a result Google has since allowed business to remove hours and Yelp added "By Appointment Only." Hoping Apple Maps can update this feature to not mislead potential clients or to prevent me from figuring out how to unclaim my business 🤞🏼
