Hi Hun,
Have you ever thought or tried enforced holidays? Like the old fashioned "wakes weeks", I know this is still done in some factories, staff know when the annual holidays are, you all go away at the same time.
I think this is a great idea. it's a pain being closed, but if you pick the right time you'd be fine. January is always quiet for me cuz people aren't due til after the third week cuz of getting in before Xmas. So if you find it's the same you could easily shut down fir a week or two without much financial loss.
I'm hoping to go Thailand this jan. It's the only time I can forgive myself for having linger than a week off lol. x
