Convenience store operators are under constant pressure to improve efficiency, ensure food safety and scale fresh food programs—all with lean staffing models. Join NACS and BOHA! by TransAct for Part One of a virtual session titled “From Delivery to Display: Faster Ways to Receive and Label Fresh Food” on Tuesday, July 21, at 2 p.m. EST to explore how operators are transforming this process with digital labeling and simplified receiving workflows, reducing manual effort while improving accuracy.

Stores can dramatically speed up intake without sacrificing control using techniques like rapid label-based reconciliation, where staff quickly validate deliveries by matching pre-printed vendor labels instead of checking individual items.

During the session, Brad Handler, culinary category manager at Family Express, will also discuss how regional operators are using modern labeling systems to support fresh food programs, ensuring compliance with expiration tracking, traceability and food safety standards.

Attendees will gain practical strategies to modernize operations, connect disconnected workflows and unlock ROI across the entire store, from delivery to display.

The webinar will cover ROI outcomes including:

  • Reduce receiving time by up to 50% through faster intake workflows.
  • Minimize inventory discrepancies and shrink with improved visibility.
  • Ensure labeling compliance while scaling fresh food offerings.
  • Enable single-employee receiving workflows in low-staff environments.

Register for the session here.

Part Two, Smart Refrigeration: New Temperature Monitoring for Less Spoilage, will take place on August 19.
