Daily Store Opening process diagram

This is a worked example. Wavelength built the diagram below from the description on this page. Nobody drew it by hand.

What was said

The store manager arrives and unlocks the doors. The manager walks the floor for a safety check. The manager counts the cash drawer. If the count is off, the manager investigates the discrepancy. If the count is correct, the manager starts the prep stations. The staff gathers for the morning huddle. The manager opens the doors to customers.
