# Inventory Basics: Product Storage by Category

## Follow these foundational principles to get your store in shape for the NomadGo App

##### **Box/Case**

- Count the boxes either on the shelves in designated locations or freely in areas around the coffee shop, like where extra boxes are stacked.
- Store boxes with the label, UPC, Product name or SKU number facing outward.

![Boxes store correctly](https://starbucksresources.nomad-go.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Boxes%20store%20correctly.jpg?width=400&height=300&name=Boxes%20store%20correctly.jpg)

Only store items in full cases. Once a case is opened, all items must be removed and stored as individual eaches.

---

##### **Individual products on Shelves (Eaches)**

- Only one SKU per row.
- Store items upright with the labels facing forward in rows.
- All items must be pushed to the back of their storage location.
- Open individual products, aka **Eaches**, will be counted as full.

Do not store eaches in front of full cases
