24/7
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
24/7 is an abbreviation which stands for "24 hours a day, 7 days a week".
In commerce and industry, it identifies a service that will be present regardless of current time or day, as might be offered by a supermarket, ATM, gas station, diner or restaurant, concierge services or manned datacenter.
In some cases, even a service available 24/7 may shut down, such as on a major holiday. The extended phrase 24/7/365 ("... 365 days a year") specifically denotes a service that is available year-round, such as police, firefighters, and emergency medical services.
