What is this retail store opening checklist for?

This operations checklist helps store managers and opening teams standardize store opening, cash prep, floor readiness, and shopper-facing presentation before doors open. It mixes fast checkbox steps with photo proof, counts, dates, and notes where the workflow needs evidence. It's the same checklist every retail run starts from — checkboxes where that's enough, photos and fields where it matters.

How do I start using it?

Start a 14-day trial, copy this checklist into your workspace, and tune the items, assignees, and field types to match your actual job. Every run is tracked. Every finished run turns into a PDF.

Yes. Every checklist in the library is a starting point. Add items, drop items, swap field types (checkbox, text, number, date, photo, video), assign teammates per line. Your version lives in your workspace and gets reused across every retail run after that.

Does it export to PDF?

Yes. Every finished run becomes a clean PDF — items, fields, photos, signoffs, nothing to stitch together. The kind you'd send to a customer, an owner, or an auditor without a second pass.
