What it does to a shop
- Advance food orders matter: Demand for zongzi and related foods may arrive before the holiday itself.
- Midweek demand differs: Office locations and regular customer patterns still matter.
- Check local event logistics: Shops near dragon-boat activities may need to account for access and deliveries.
- Visitor enquiries: Share your hours; suggest checking transport and attraction notices directly.
- Check employment guidance: For private-sector days off, substitute holidays, staffing and pay arrangements, follow announcements from the Ministry of Labor.
What to do before it
- 30 days before: Decide Wednesday hours and review advance food orders without assuming a multi-day travel peak.
- 14 days before: Set each date’s special hours in Google Business Profile, including closed days. Publish a Post on the same day with the complete opening schedule.
- 7 days before: Remind customers this is a one-day holiday and reconfirm Wednesday service appointments.
- On the holiday: Verify that the posted hours still match actual operations. Check that the special hours will expire after their assigned dates rather than overwrite regular hours.
