$1,009,383.03 SALES TO DATE 258.6111111 shoppers $45.22 average per week

April’s weekly sales avg is: $12,502.01, pretty consistent with March: $12,322.57 Our 2016 weekly sales avg is: $11,618.22, up from $9.5k/week in 2015 MARCH Active membership is: 342, up 10 from Feb!

Analysis: are we capping at $12,500 with our current membership? Still need MORE members or people shopping to reach $15k/week goal and/or members to spend $50/week

Implement stronger double makeup policy or stronger enforcements when members miss their shift (Renee/All, 25 min )

• Suggestion: If you do not follow the shift swapping procedure and do not show up for your shift, you will be considered a “No Call, No Show” and receive a double make-up, which requires you to make up 2 shifts within the next 4 weeks (before your shift cycles back).

• Issue, how implement it, who tracks this?

  • Suggestion: Notated on crib sheet if no show/no call by SL. Whomever adds crib sheet hours to SP, checks to see if that person attempted to find a replacement on the shift swap google group. IF none were made they owe 2 make ups.

  • Question, Do we have manpower and technical infrastructure to do this? Would need IT to create some kind of “FLAGGING” situation.

• Other suggestions?

-Tabled discussion till later
