Waze: How to tell if an establishment is open before leaving home

The Waze application clearly shows if a place is open or closed before you start driving. This information can be useful if you want to avoid unplanned events when you go to a mall, restaurant or other business establishment in a remote city, for example.

See in the following tutorial how to use the feature to plan your appointments. Remember that step by step was done in the version of the app for iPhone (iOS), but the procedure is the same on mobile phones with Android.
