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 Why it matters: without a named owner per cafe, outdated files can reach a counter or a menu board.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.
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.
Tracks each gate and runs the Oct 5 check.
Approves the proof and names the last managers.
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.
