7 Sections You Should Never Skip in an Audit Report
1. Store Ambience or Outlet Cleanliness
Dusty shelves? Dirty counters? Lights not working? This affects both experience and sales. Always audit the first impression.
2. Safety & Hygiene Compliance
For restaurants, this means food prep, expiry dates, handwashing stations. For retail, think fire extinguishers, emergency exits, electricals.
3. Visual Merchandising / Product Display
Are products placed according to the layout plan? Is signage clean and updated? Are shelves stocked as per guidelines?
4. Staff Appearance & Behaviour
Uniforms, grooming, attitude, greeting—small things, but they say a lot about your brand.
5. Inventory or Stock Accuracy
What’s missing? What’s expired? What’s low? It helps avoid future firefighting.
6. Critical Issues (With Photos)
Broken AC? Leaking sink? Capture it, ticket it, and make sure someone owns it.
7. Final Score or Summary
A simple, clear score helps benchmark performance—and track trends over time.
Why It Matters
1. You can’t improve what you don’t track
A store visit report helps you spot what’s off—whether it’s broken signage, dusty shelves, or food prep issues. Without it, it’s just guesswork.
2. It keeps everyone honest (in a good way)
When things are written down—with photos and timestamps—there’s less blame game, more ownership.
3. You finally get patterns, not just problems
If hygiene or stock accuracy keeps getting flagged, Amply’s dashboards will show you patterns by store, region, or even section.
4. It helps HO actually act
The Head Office can’t fix what they can’t see. A proper report means ops, maintenance, and training teams get real info, fast.
