Wednesday

End of week banking- At closing time; Tally up the ledger, bag cash takings, any purchase receipts and put into the safe until tomorrow.
The exception to this is end of month banking, which can occur on any day. Follow the procedure for end of week banking.
Thursday
Kyeema day programs bus will arrive at approximately 10am to collect banking and any correspondence for Kyeema. Sometimes they will bring shoe boxes as well.
Updated NPW Order Form- An email is received to confirm release of updated order form. Print off hardcopy from NPW website. Go to “Trade”, password is automated and printed.
It is easier to take the hard copy out into the nursery to check it against current stock.
Begin marking out order form and check customer order book for requests, but don’t create an internet order on Evergreen Connect until Friday afternoon or Saturday (at the latest). In the warmer months, Saturday can be busy, and this leaves a lot of gaps in retail stock.
Depending on the season- Weekly orders are necessary in Spring however in winter and January, orders can be made every couple of weeks to keep costing low in the quiet times. Seawinds propagated stock can be used to keep the retail area looking “full”.
Friday
NPW delivery will usually arrive today (occasionally early Thursday)- Make sure trolleys are out near the back gate.
Saturday
Complete NPW order on Evergreen Connect before closing.
Tidy & deepwater stock- This is important & can take hours in between customers.
Catch up on office work.
Rough plan the following week.
