Liquor store managers supervise the operations of free-standing stores that specialize in the sale of spirits. Additionally, many supermarkets or food stores licensed to sell liquor typically segregate this department as a separate entity and hire liquor store managers. One of the major responsibilities of the liquor store manager is to control inventory, which involves regularly counting all product on hand and in storage, analyzing sales and traffic trends, and then basing future orders off forecasts made from this information. The store manager works to ensure their employees keep product restocked on shelves and that the sales area is kept clean and customer-friendly. 2, record 2, English, - liquor%20store%20manager
