How to use, formula & example

Practical steps for Shelf Layout Planner — what to enter, how results are calculated, and what to do next

How to use this tool

Plan shelf count and aisle flow before expanding the store footprint.
Keep staff coverage overlapping high-turn SKUs.
Balance product mix so restock paths stay short.
Re-run the plan after hiring or license unlocks change demand.

Shelf layout efficiency

Best layout ≈ sales/hour with short restock paths and covered peak aisles

Variable	Meaning
Shelf count	Capacity you can actually keep full
Aisle flow	Customer path without dead ends
Staff coverage	Restock reach during peaks
Product mix	High-turn SKUs near storage

Example: pretty maze layout

Setup: Player builds a long decorative aisle that doubles restock walk time.

Result: Throughput drops even if shelf count looks higher on paper.

Takeaway: Design for restock speed and peak coverage, not looks.

Common mistakes

Expanding shelves you cannot fill.
Long restock walks.
Premium SKUs in blind corners.
Never re-planning after staff changes.
