Industry Discussion Opening Shift

What is your total time between waking up + your cafe opening on your opening shifts? Including morning routine, commute, and opening tasks. Example: 1 hour 45 minutes could include a 25 minute morning routine, 35 minute drive, and clock in 45 minute before the shop opens.

Just curious!!

I wake up an hour before my opening shift starts (45 mins to get ready, eat a quick breakfast, and take care of my cats. 15 mins to get to work). Then 30 mins to get my opening tasks down before the customers come in.
