Instruction manual

1

First you need to choose a place to trade and assortment. For example, close to business centers, enterprises, government agencies it is profitable to sell cooking. In the sleeping area, dairy products, bakery and confectionery, cereals, alcohol, cigarettes are popular. At a store on the outskirts of the city, shoppers often ask for soft drinks, vacuum sandwiches and hamburgers. In the "golden square" expensive products can be popular.

2

The next step is to get all the necessary documents for the sale of food, a license for the sale of alcohol. Write a statement to the SES and the fire department. Specialists from these departments will check the premises for professional suitability and issue an appropriate opinion.

3

Now you need to choose the appropriate name for the outlet. It should be bright, memorable and clearly reflect the range of the store. For example, "Yummy", "Sweet tooth", "Shopping bag", "Meat feast", etc. To match the name, you need to make a sign for the outlet.

You will also need commercial equipment - shelving, refrigerators, cash zone. Before purchasing all this equipment, you need to determine what type of trade will be in your store - self-service, or through the counter. Self-service needs shelving, shelves, freezers from which it will be convenient for customers to take goods, and the seller to monitor the order in the trading floor. When trading through the counter, it is important that all products are clearly visible to customers.

5

Then you need to provide the outlet with goods. Today, many suppliers themselves bring the goods to the store. Call the manufacturers of the goods you need, specify the contacts of suppliers in your city. Contact them and order products. Some products, such as fruits or vegetables, can be purchased at wholesale markets.

6

When placing goods on shelves, do not forget about the rules of merchandising. That is, each product should have its own place and the right neighborhood. For example, you cannot place a sweet cake and salted fish or smoked bacon in the same refrigerator. First, sanitary rules and regulations prohibit this. And secondly, it will not be possible to interest the buyer in such a commodity neighborhood.

Hire good sellers and open the doors of your store to buyers.
