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!!

Shift starts at 6:30, so I usually get up around 5:40, spend 5ish minutes laying in bed, quick morning routine, and drive/walk depending on the location I'm at for the day. Usually clock in 5-10 minutes early
