Questions for the owner

How many facings per door do you want for each product? This is needed to say how many of the 36 cases fit in the cooler right away.
Which hazy IPA brands are going into door 4, and are they part of a delivery or already in stock?
Which sparkling wines are going in, and are they already in stock?
Please confirm with your local licensing authority that the tequila end cap placement and the new signs follow your local display rules.

What it does

Turns the owner's rough notes about a seasonal change into a clear reset plan. It covers what goes where in each cooler door and shelf section, what comes out, what to load first so it is cold by opening, and who does which job and when.

Use it when: Use when a convenience or liquor store owner needs a plan for a seasonal cooler and shelf reset for beer, wine and spirits, such as: plan my summer reset, move the seltzer to more doors, rework the cooler, or who does what after close.
