Hospitals, obviously, and police stations. I figure this is the case in most countries. In Japan though bizarrely a lot of hospitals close on weekends, I've heard. Some emergency clinics too. The odd pharmacy/chemist/drug-store too.
A lot of fast food places like McDonald's, Hungry Jack's/Burger King, a few KFCs and Subways even. 24 hour McDonald's became the norm probably from about 10-15 years ago, though a lot are still drive-through only past about 12-1am. Some, especially in the CBD, have a 24 hour area dining area.
A lot of non-chain fast food places that sell things like pizzas, kebabs. A few Asian places in the CBD. I don't know of any 24/7 Pizza Hut or Dominoes though come to think of it.
We have a few 24 hour supermarkets, like Coles or Woolworths.
A few 24 hour K-Mart's, which are like a budget department store.
Most petrol/service stations are open 24 hours a day here. The ones that aren't tend to be the more independently owned ones, or the ones in the country/away from the big city.
Convenience stores like 7-11, especially in the inner city, but not all of them. Some might close at say 11pm or 1-2am.
That's pretty much it, I think.
For the most part, a typical working week is about 9am-5pm Monday to Friday for office type jobs, but increasingly hours have become more flexible.
Retail hours vary, but 8am to 5:30 to 11pm is typical of usual retail outlets. In a lot of shopping centres a lot of supermarkets or department stores, or certain other stores, may close later than most of the other shops. In the CBD, most shops tend to close between about 6-9pm these days. The smaller ones tend to close earlier. In Australia it varies by state, but there's a trend towards increasing liberalisation of trading hours.
Restaurants tend to open for lunch and dinner, or only dinner. Cafes usually breakfast and lunch. They often open later on weekends.
A lot of pubs/bars will typically close around midnight due to liquor licensing laws.
Most nightclubs/lounges/live music venues/and certain pubs/hotels will open until 3-5am.
Museums, art galleries, zoos, gated parks, cemeteries, a lot of tourist attractions, typically open 8-9am to 5pm.
24/7:
All sorts of convenience stores, there are gazillions of them in literally every corner, sells awful food and drinks and coffee and shampoo and condoms and cigarettes and liquor and ****.
McDonald's
Some bookstores(Eslite?)
Emergency room I suppose
Others:
Idk, they're open when I'm awake, never paid attention to their opening hours.
Pretty much everything not alcohol-related is closed between 11 and 7 in the Netherlands
Coffeeshops can't open their doors between 2 and 7.
McDonald's restaurans are open until midnight, McDrive's are open until 2.
Other fast food restaurants like KFC, Burger King, Subway and Domino's all close at midnight and are mostly located in area's where you have to pay for parking
We don't have 7/11's All convenience stores close at 10 or earlier.

One of the reasons why i want to leave Europe.
That's surprising, we have 192 7/11 stores here.
McDonald's open from 07:00 to 23:00, but on Fridays and Saturdays it's open until 03:00 (the ones with no drive throughs). The ones with drive throughs close at midnight, for some odd reason .
Location: Northern Ireland and temporarily England
