The problem
A building of makers can't each afford to be open six days a week. Together they can. The catch is that 'together' needs a schedule someone maintains, and that someone quits within a year.
The rotation
- Pick anchor days: the days the building is open no matter what.
- Each tenant claims one anchor shift per week, more if they want the foot traffic.
- Post the shift calendar where everyone sees it. Public inside the building, private outside.
- Notice gaps early. A tenant who hasn't taken a shift in two weeks is quietly checking out.
What to write down
Who covered which day. That's it. Not hours, not sales. The point is a fair rotation and an early warning, not surveillance.
