Shop Hours

We are 7:30-5:30 M-Thursday 7:30-5 Friday.

Used to be open saturdays because the owner would do paperwork that day but people took advantage and started getting mad that we weren't fully staffed and running full production 6 days a week.

I guess it depends on the size of the shop and how many employees you have.
If i was solo i would do 8-12 so i could deal with walkins in the morning and grind out production in the afternoon.
If i had a front desk person i would do normal business hours atleast 8-5

 

Our normal shop hours are
10AM - 6PM Mon
9AM - 12PM Tues (or by appointment)
9AM - 6PM Wed & Thur
9AM - 4PM Fri.
Closed Holidays and weekends

now those are the hours the door is open, the real "work" is when the door is locked and the phone is off.
We come in early / leave late as the workload requires, remembering to keep the door locked and phone off so "work" can get done

 

Open 8:30am - 5pm M-F. Closed Saturday & Sunday
Some of us come in around 8am but then again some of us stay an hour or two later.

 

We're 9-5 Monday through Friday. Occasionally a job calls for work outside of those hours and that's okay. I'm really considering moving to a 4 day work week. Mondays are typically busy for us, but that can easily be adjusted.

 

Why not just be open the hours you feel most comfortable with? Your not (I assume) running a retail shop, so just work what you want. I usually work and answer the phones between 7:30a and 4pm M-F. but I am an early bird.

 

No week day off here.

Since I have quite a few customer base that do embroidery as a 2nd job, usually I have late weekdays as well. Most weekends and holidays are safe from work (unless they have a rush job).

Most of the time my digitizing customers don't know when I'm on vacation and I'll actually do work while on vacation here and there (but since I rarely have a vacation lately, that doesn't happen all that much).

 

We don't do walk-ins or have any of your typical customer traffic, which allows us to do 10 hour days Monday - Thursday, 7-530 with a half hour lunch. I love it. I travel quite a bit and it allows me to do so without missing much work. And it's always nice having the 3 day weekend. Once you get used to the longer days, it's no big deal. I'm ruined if/when I ever go somewhere that works 5 days a week!

 

I'm open when I'm there and closed when I'm not.

My shop number is my cell phone, I choose which calls to answer.

 

I work 5 days a week, but if I were to pick a day that would be the quietest (phone and email wise) that would be Friday. Most of my customers are business people and nowadays it seems like everyone checks out on Fridays

 

I may have posted this before, but this is on the front door to my shop.

 

Monday-Thursday 8-5
Friday 8-4
Closed weekends

Been that way for years for us and works well

 

Shop open 8:30am - 5pm. Shop open Saturdays 10am - 2pm.

Usually spend a few hours working on art files at home (the shop is digitally integrated into my apartment so I can get something done in relative peace) or sending jobs to the printer and plotter from there. From 6am til opening, it's weeding and masking the last nights print/plot runs.

Ya know? It may not be perfect but it sure keeps me away from falling asleep on the couch watching TV!

 

Monday - Friday 9 to 5 here.

 

We are 8:30 - 5:00 Mon-Thurs, 8:30-4:00 Fridays. Closed on the weekends.
