Dispensary Opening Process SOP Template

Jumpstart documentation of your standard operating procedures for opening your dispensary each day to customers and patients.

The opening process starts the moment a manager or store lead arrives at the dispensary and ends when the store opens for that days’ business. Opening is one of the times of greatest risk for dispensaries, so it’s important to have thoughtful processes on entering the building and preparing for the day, including counting cash and preparing products.

This SOP outlines every step in the opening process, including unlocking the door, stocking products, preparing drawers/workstations, and welcoming the first customers of the day.

Here's how it works:

3. Save, train your staff, and update as your process evolves.
