New store opening

Keeps each store opening checklist current, chases owners on blocked items, and sends regional leadership a launch packet to approve.

The operation

Live example

Click a step to see how it works.

For each confirmed store opening, keep a launch checklist current and prepare the regional approval packet from permits, vendor work, fixtures, POS, inventory, staffing, training, marketing, and inspections.

Here's the plan:

Build Opening Plan: Create checklist from launch date, store type, market, and required workstreams.
Collect Launch Status: Gather permit status, vendor updates, POS setup, inventory, staffing, and training.
Route Blockers: Ask owners to resolve late permits, missing inventory, vendor gaps, or staffing risk.
Refresh Launch Status: Fold resolved blockers back into the launch evidence and open-risk list.
Prepare Launch Packet: Create launch packet with source links and residual risks after blockers are resolved.
Approve Opening: Ask regional leadership to approve opening after blocker evidence is updated.

Built it in 6 steps. Owners clear the blocked items in Slack, regional leadership approves the opening in Slack, and Malleable handles the rest.
