Hey team, just wrapping up the notes from the weekly sync. The main focus for next quarter is streamlining the checkout process based on member feedback. Several folks mentioned the self-checkout lanes could use more intuitive item scanning. We should prototype a few interface tweaks and test them in the Bellevue location first.
On a completely different note, I tried that new salmon recipe last night – the one with the maple glaze and dill. It was a hit. The key is to let the glaze reduce a bit more than the recipe says, gives it a nicer texture. Served it with roasted asparagus and a simple quinoa pilaf. Really easy weeknight meal if you’re looking for ideas.
The project timeline for the warehouse software update looks good. The beta phase is scheduled for the first two weeks of November. We’ll need volunteers from each region to run the diagnostic checks. Please coordinate with your site managers to allocate time for this. The goal is minimal disruption to daily operations.
Remember the discussion about the break room coffee We’re switching to the medium roast blend from the local supplier starting Monday. The sample batch received positive reviews for being less acidic. Let’s see how it goes for a month and then reassess.
The quarterly inventory audit is coming up. All department heads should have received the checklist and schedule by now. If there are any discrepancies in your preliminary counts, flag them to logistics by Wednesday EOD. This helps us reconcile before the official count begins.
Has anyone reviewed the draft for the new safety signage The wording needs to be clearer, especially for the loading dock area. I’ll circulate the document again with my suggestions. We need final approval by the 15th to meet the printer’s deadline.
For the community outreach event in December, we’ve secured the permit for the parking lot. The next step is confirming the list of participating local businesses. Maria is leading that effort, so please direct any inquiries her way. We’re hoping for a good turnout this year.
The training module for the new timekeeping system is now live on the internal portal. All staff are required to complete it by the end of the month. It’s pretty straightforward, mostly about logging in and submitting hours. HR sent a memo with the link.
I’ve been reading this interesting book on urban logistics and how it applies to our delivery routing. Some fascinating case studies on optimizing for traffic patterns. I can share the title if anyone is interested. It’s a bit dense but has some practical takeaways.
Don’t forget to submit your preferences for the holiday party venue. The survey closes on Friday. Options are the usual three places downtown. Looking forward to a nice gathering after a busy year. Let’s make sure all shifts have coverage that evening.
