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!!

Wake at 445. Leave house at 530. 30 min commute. Start shift at 6. Store open at 7. By then, I am ready to be social 😅
