Default First Time Hosting Open Mic- advise?

Please move post if i am in the wrong area.Thanks. I will be hosting an Open Mic at my work ( a Retail store in which we clear space on a carpeted area about 60 x40 square) High ceilings. we will have tables and chairs set up and wine and beer tasting from some local vendors. as well as appetizers from a local restaurant.
we start at 7 pm and will go to 9 or 10 pm latest.
what I am providing.:
Bose L1compact
2 mics Shenheiser E835's . one stand set up with stool for sitting. one stand for stand up. Both stands have attachments for music or Ipad.
pedal board with my Aura 16 imaging pedal with 16 presets to cover most brands(can easily turn off)TC Helcion Harmony singer ( used mostly for the tone button) Di box out to 6 channel mixer with a little bit of reverb dialed in.
I also will have on hand a K&K meridian condenser Mic for those that do not have pick ups.
I will have a sign up sheet at the front door. I would start people off with 2-3 song limit and see how many we get.

Ok , ready for the experienced advise i always find here.
