Some businesses are operational 12 hours a day, whereas some businesses are open 24 hours a day. What kind of opening hours do you have? Well, when I was running a restaurant, I used to open my restaurant at 8 in the morning and close at 12 midnight. I not only served breakfast, lunch, and dinner but also organized late-night parties.

There are many companies that may have fixed hours when it comes to opening any kind of business. This may be important because this may allow customers to come at the workplace at the right time.
Having a routine as a business helps to establish credibility with your clients, except if you run a very small business which offers special services. Even so, it's important that your customers know exactly when and how to contact you.
Well, this depends on what you have to offer in your business, in his own kind of business, it is also profitable opening it late at that time of the day when most might have closed for the day , it serves people at that time and also making more profit on the other hand.
Currently I do have a distribution business and it has no opening nor closing hours. However it's more professionally to have some fixed business operating time so that customers can make timely visits on your business.
Having a set time to open your business makes your customers to know when to find you. If you have irregular opening times, it would not help the business as people won't even take you serious or give you referrals.
My usual working hours run from roughly 8 am in the morning to some minutes to 6 pm in the evening. Daring emergencies, I may however find myself working outside of this period.
These emergencies include instances where a customer has requested me to handle an extremely urgent project.
Majority offices have fixed operating hours. But as for vme, I would like to work in offices that open in official time of 8.00am and close by 5.00pm.. I don't like to work binb any voffice cthat would take enormous of my time.
I run an informal business that doesn't require a specific opening time. We come to the farm in the mornings and evenings to do our rounds. If a customer wants something, he or she would have to call.
That is good. The normal time for farm operation iisc morning and evening. That is the time to attend to farm produce and animals.. You don't have to be in the farm from morning till night.
I am working as a freelancer right now, so I do not have a fixed hour per say. I tend to adjust my timings and schedule, depending on the circumstances.
True this. Every business needs to be streamlined to the point that your customers know when you open. If you open today by 10 and tomorrow by 8, they won't be stable with you because they don't know your opening time for tomorrow.
This already is known in our business culture. Inb Nigeria, it is generally known and acknowledged that all businesses must have opened by 8.00 am. Therefor all official discussions are fixed above that time and before 5.00pm when most businesses would be preparing to close.
