- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The work week is Sunday to Thursday. Call between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Avoid calling during the five daily prayer times (Salat). Business is highly relational and hierarchical; always address senior decision-makers with appropriate respect and titles.
Sao Paulo Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
