An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
売上情報を自動的に記録できるPOSレジを利用し、商品のバーコードをスキャナで読み取って商品を販売し、袋詰めを行う。公共料金等の支払受付や、宅配便の受付、各種チケットの販売を行うこともある。商品の発注は、店舗内のコンピュータの情報や、地域行事、天気予報を考慮しながら行う。発注情報は回線を通じて本部に送信され、所定の時間に協力業者から商品が配送・納品されることになる。その後、納品された商品を検品し、商品棚などに品出しを行う。これらの業務以外に、売上金の管理や店舗内外の清掃業務も重要な仕事である。また、お客に対する挨拶や気配り、緊急時やトラブル時の対応なども重要である。
店舗独自の販売促進活動をする場合もあり、新商品の発売や新しいサービスの開始時期等にあわせて、販売計画やPOP広告の作成等を行うことがある。
