OPENING / CLOSING PROCEDURES

Some of these procedures are meant for Zenistas, instructors, or therapists,

and not necessarily for general space rentals.

We believe in transparency, and this make information easier to access.


If any of these things do not appear to be accomplished,

please notify the person who rented before you,

or text Emily on the main line to ensure our efficiency at (630) 465-5638.

OPENING PROCEDURES

-- Unlock/prop the door downstairs to ensure your students’/clients’ entry

-- Put out our sign

-- Shut the door tightly at the top of the stairs if the heat/air-conditioning is on

-- Reset the thermostat to 68 in colder months and 75 in warmer months

-- Turn on all the lamps in the space and display cases

-- Refill and turn on diffuser

-- Connect music to the speaker

    - You may choose the music, but generally we like something upbeat, women-empowered, and famil​y-friendly

-- Check bathroom for supplies

-- Check the tea area and replenish teas, snacks, cups, etc.

-- Check water dispenser and refill if needed

-- Connect the iPad and turn on Square for easy checkout

-- Pull up MindBody to sign your guests in and create their account for our waiver

-- Make sure your own waiver forms are out and ready for first-time students (if applicable)

-- Set up the room you’ll be in

-- Communicate any issues with the other staff or Zenistas present



CLOSING PROCEDURES

    - Icicle lights

-- Close the door at the top of the stairs until it clicks

-- Push the door at the bottom of the stairs until it clicks and doesn't pull open again
