  • Daily Store Walk
  • Conducted on

  • Prepared by

  • The Store walk is designed to give the management team a quick overview of the store before 9am to allow time to rectify problems before they impact the customer. It is there to point out any areas that need attention before our customers spot them. It will give you the opportunity to assign tasks to people as the situation occurs and to identify any issues early.
    Fresh Departments are a priority due to the perishable nature of the product and as management you must be encouraged to screen these departments so that they are up to an above average standard early in the day.
