Business Hours

Is it possible to keep a business open for 8 am to 8 pm with 2 employees working 6 hour shifts?

[JackDaniel]

No, because they don't want to work more than 50 hours per week. Plus atm you need to close the business between 23:00 and 00:00 to allow for warehouse deliveries, it doesn't work otherwise.

sure

You can hire more staff for long open time. My businesses are working 14h per day

?

8am (morning) - 8pm (evening) = 12h
Not even close to midnight and you can totally deliver to an open shop.

7days*6hour (per person) = 42h
42<50

Whoops, I read it as 8-8, a 24-hour shift. But yeah 12-hour shift sure.

2 employees can work 7x7 hour shifts so 49 hours a week, you could hire a part timer to clean 10 hours a week as well.

I do this with my law firm.. everyone works 49 hours a week and then I have 1 house keeper that works 10 hours a week.

2 workers from 10:00-00:00 seems to be the sweetspot for most stores, Dont worry about deliveries works fine. Hire a part time cleaner for 2 hours a day and you're set.

just make sure to check your customers numbers, because while most of what is said in here may be true, I was opening my lawers office way too long when I indeed had no traffic, hence paing hourly wages I didn't need. (past 7 or 8pm I think ?)

So most shops works fine as many said in here, but never take anything for granted, and check your own in game graphs. Infos are here for you to grab, justz need to find them in game.

yes it is. you can set part time and full time to 30 hour weeks and they can work from 8am to 8pm mon-fri . it would need to be on only 1 cash register though.

The Simplest Retail Store 24/7 Tip:
Three full time and one part time per cash register.
DO NOT hire employees for 4 Days week/5 Days week/Free weekends!
Work hour preferences (No morning/evening/night) may be acceptable, but be careful not to conflict with the preferences of multiple staff members.
Work a 21 hour shift with full time working 7 hours a day. Allocate the remaining 3 hours to part time and share the setup for all days of the week.

You do not need to have more than 1 register manned at this time. You will see no difference in sales it's a bit of an exploit.. but as long as you have all registers you need to reach max capacity in the Biz screen placed, then you only need to man one of them and you will hit max capacity.

Yes, 6H x 7 days only 42 H

Max per individual without offdays is 7 hours

[dubesor]

all my businesses are open 21 hrs per day (3x fulltime employee working 7 days per week 7 hrs =49 hrs each). I tested each business type being open less and the profit was significantly lower.
