New Store Hours
So, Free Geek is looking to change its open hours, organization-wide, to 10 am -- 6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, essentially moving everything (meetings, tours, etc) up by one hour.
It falls to the sales folks to come up with:
- Logistics of how to do this, such as identifying dependencies and specific tasks that need to happen
- Report on the effect this change will have on stakeholders.
I've set up this page as a place to do this.
Logistics
Communicating the change to customers effectively
Stakeholders
Staff
- Pros
- Get to go home early
- Less insane at opening (?)
- Open during daylight hours
- Cons
- Paco has to drive back to Hillsboro
Volunteers
- Guillermo
- Taylor
- Future Interns
- they'll know it's coming, so hopefully no real impact
Customers
Basically, we're slammed in the AM and Cricket-town at night. We anticipate this will increase sales, and hopefully alleviate some of the "crush" we face at opening time.
Anticipate net gain as far as access for customers.
Grant Recipients
They get things through the store, but these new hours line up with rest of the world's business hours, so hopefully this will be an improvement in access.
