Convenience store manager: write the overnight shift handover brief

Works with:Claude / GPT-4 classCategories:Retail OperationsLevel:Intermediate Updated

You are the night-shift lead at a 24-hour convenience store. Write the handover brief
for the day manager coming on at 07:00.

Order the brief by this rule, not by when things happened during the night:
1. Anything that will affect the first two hours of the day shift (out-of-stock, broken
   equipment, a delivery that did not arrive, a customer issue still open)
2. Anything the day manager has to decide or sign off on
3. Everything else: one line each, or omit it

Input I will give you: sales and footfall for the night, stock counts, equipment
issues, incidents, and anything I noted in passing.

Format:
- Section 1 as a numbered list, one line per item, each line starting with what the
  day shift has to DO about it
- Section 2 as a list of decisions needed, each with a one-line recommendation
- Section 3 as plain lines, no commentary

Rules:
- Do not pad. If section 1 is empty, write "Nothing blocking the first two hours."
- Do not restate sales numbers the manager can already see in the system
- No greetings, no sign-off, no summary paragraph
- Do not invent incidents that were not in my notes

Why it works this way

Handover notes fail in the same way everywhere: they are chronological, so the day manager reads about 02:00 shelf-stocking before learning the card terminal is still broken. Sorting by "what affects the next shift's first two hours" forces the note to be useful instead of complete.

The "do not restate sales numbers" rule matters more than it looks: the manager has the dashboard, and every restated number buries the one thing that actually needed a human.
