Ensure your store is running efficiently with a retail store manager checklist


A retail store audit is a process used to assess the overall effectiveness of a retail store's operations. It is a comprehensive review of the store's operations, management, customer service, and financial performance. Audits can provide valuable insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a retail store and can help businesses make informed decisions about how to improve their operations.


This checklist can be customized to fit your needs and can be used as a reference when hiring, transferring or promoting a new store manager. In addition, the handover checklist provides valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of the retail store and helps to ensure that the new manager is fully prepared for their new role.

Please note that this checklist template is a hypothetical appuses-hero example and provides only standard information. The template does not aim to replace, among other things, workplace, health and safety advice, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or any other applicable law. You should seek your professional advice to determine whether the use of such a checklist is appropriate in your workplace or jurisdiction.
