Read a unit as one sellable item. A box of eggs is one unit. Cases contain the number of sellable items shown below. The target is three days of expected sales, with no extra buffer.
Labelled drivers this week: Bank holiday Monday · Weather, warm spell to Wednesday · Football, Wednesday night match. A label marks a line where a driver lifts the expected day rate; the rate shown already includes it. Unlabelled lines are a plain week.

Stock means the usable shelf and back-room units in this fictional count. The estimate of stock left is not a measure of waste.

Before you buy

Your shop knowledge comes first.

A late delivery, short-dated milk or a local event can change the decision. Review fresh lines first. The two pack-size holds need a choice from you.

For clarity, this demo uses fixed daily rates, with labelled drivers where a holiday, weather spell or fixture lifts a rate. It does not model promotions, substitutions, supplier minimums or delivery failures.
