What to cover first

  • Front door
  • Reception or POS counter
  • Service-floor overview
  • Waiting area
  • Back door
  • Supply or stock area

Why this answer works

  • The plan protects reception and payment questions first because that solves more real owner pain than another close-up over a chair.
  • One respectful floor overview creates movement context without making every service station feel over-surveilled.
  • The back door or supply area becomes the phase-two growth point because product shrink and after-hours entry are usually underestimated.
