Lunch Breaks
What does anyone else do about lunch breaks? Do your techs eat at different times or do you send them all to eat at one time?

Same time – Noon to 1:00 PM
We generally take lunch at the same time 12 -1 pm. We schedule around the lunch hour, I really enjoy using the lunch hour to eat with my staff whenever I can…which is almost every day.
12:00-1:00- unless a customer is waiting, then my techs may take a later lunch. I also allow my techs to take a different lunch time if I have notice. I cover the front office myself during lunch and may take a later lunch myself.
I keep one tech on from 12-1 while the rest of the shop eats (for walk in stuff…) who goes to lunch from 1-2.
We never get unannounced waiters, so I give them the flexibility to go when they want unless there is a waiter or deadline. They’ll take a late lunch if they have to get a car out. I always liked to go at 11:30 when I was a tech; I’m hungry then and you beat the lunch rush so you can get back quicker if you don’t pack a lunch.
Same time – Noon to 1:00 PM but one helper eats at 2 so we can handle moving cars and changing light bulbs quick.
