Tired of Customers Asking ‘Are You Open?’ Here’s the App That Solves It
The Question Every Business Gets: “Are You Open?”
If you run a small business, chances are you’ve heard this question more times than you can count. Phone calls, Facebook messages, random DMs, customers want to know if you’re open, what your hours are, and whether your holiday schedule has changed.
It’s a fair question, but let’s be honest: answering it repeatedly takes up valuable time you could be spending serving the people already in your store.
The Problem With Outdated Information
Most people check Google, Yelp, or Facebook before visiting a business. But here’s the catch, those listings are often wrong. Maybe you had to close early, maybe you extended hours for a holiday weekend, or maybe you’re operating with limited staff.
When your online info doesn’t match reality, two things happen:
Customers waste time showing up to a closed door.
Businesses lose trust and sales from frustrated customers.
Why Real-Time Updates Are the Future
Think about how we expect apps like Uber or DoorDash to work. We wouldn’t tolerate guessing whether a driver was available or a restaurant was open for delivery, we want real-time answers.
So why should finding out if your favorite local coffee shop, boutique, or restaurant is open be any different?
Consumers expect instant information, and businesses that can’t provide it risk losing loyal customers.
