Opening / Closing Checklist

For our open hours, please follow these steps for opening and closing the shop.

Opening

1. Turn on the main lights (near far door) and lights in the WW (near forks)
2. Set up sandwich board and BK sign at either side of courtyard on sidewalk
3. Put on apron and name tag
