Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology relate to methods and systems for classifying businesses according to an open-hours classification category, for example, based on resource consumption data. In some implementations, methods of the subject technology include steps for receiving a plurality of operating hours categories, wherein each of the operating hours categories is associated with at least one usage profile, and receiving business information for an unclassified business, wherein the business information comprises resource consumption data for the unclassified business. In some aspects, methods of the subject technology can further include steps for determining if the unclassified business should be associated with one of the operating hours categories based on the resource consumption data for the unclassified business. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
