Why Team Preparation Matters
A Good Layout and POS System Still Require Trained People
Unclear responsibilities can lead to slow billing, empty shelves, inaccurate stock, weak customer service and poor accountability. These problems become highly visible during the opening period.
S Mart helps owners identify required roles, plan recruitment and establish practical expectations for billing, floor, stock and supervisory teams.

- How many staff members are required for the proposed store size and operating hours?
- Which roles should be hired first and what responsibilities should each role handle?
