Assistant Store Manager

Role & responsibilities

What You Will Own Shift Operations & Speed • Run the shift end to end order-to-handover within SLAs on every order, rider dispatch without delays, and instant escalation and recovery when surges, app issues or stockouts hit. • Plan the floor for your shift: picker deployment by zone, break rotations, and peak-hour readiness based on the day's order forecast. Freshness & Inventory • Own goods receiving on your shift on-time receipt, QC and grading checks at the door, and fast put-away with correct slotting. • Execute FEFO rotation, scheduled quality culls, dump/markdown logging with reasons, and cycle counts keeping inventory accuracy high and wastage low. • Keep shelves full and displays fresh through the shift — trigger in-day replenishment before top SKUs run out. Team & Discipline • Lead the shift team — attendance, grooming and hygiene standards, task allocation, on-the-job training of new joiners, and shift handover notes that leave nothing to memory. • Maintain a safe, clean, audit-ready store — FSSAI-aligned hygiene checklists, equipment upkeep, and zero-tolerance safety compliance. Reporting & Improvement • Close every shift with the numbers: orders, SLA hits/misses, wastage, stock gaps, manpower — reported honestly with root causes, not excuses. • Flag broken processes and suggest fixes — the best shift-floor ideas get piloted across the network.
