10/10 for businesses that update their website and/or social media to let customers know if they are open or not. 0/10 for those that don't and don't have a published policy for whether they are open or not on public holidays.

This isn't a complete list. It is just places I happen to look up and noted when they are open (or closed). Fast food chains like McDonalds, KFC, Burger King etc are open. I also expect restaurants/cafes that are attached to hotels to be open.
