Tips

  • Put it up in the morning, not when you leave. Most people who'd be affected come by during the day.
  • Add the same change to Google special hours, or people will drive over after you close.

Questions

Should I give a reason for closing early?

A short reason ("family event", "staff training") is friendly but optional. The reopening time matters more.
