What blocks cafe distribution

On hold: cafe distribution

Leo approved packaging production on Sep 14 and held cafe distribution until every location owner is named. Why it matters: without a named owner per cafe, outdated files can reach a counter or a menu board. Owner: Maya Chen, with Leo naming the last 3 managers by Oct 2.

Launch decision
✓12 packaging SKUs approved for production
✓9 cafe menus approved
Corrected 250 g bag proof approved
All 9 location folders complete
All 9 cafe managers named on the distribution list

Recommendation

We recommend Go for packaging production once the 250 g proof is approved, and Not yet for cafe distribution. Folders and names are on track for Oct 2, which leaves the Oct 5 location check two weeks before launch, as agreed.

What would move distribution to a go

Conditions for opening distribution

By Oct 2: the last 3 manager names confirmed and the 4 open location folders complete. If both clear, the Oct 5 check verifies each submission and Leo opens distribution for the Oct 19 launch.
