Number of endcap and feature display locations audited

Yes No N/A

Planogram and Merchandising Compliance

Display is set to the current approved corporate planogram critical (required)

Confirm the SKU assortment, shelf positions, and fixture configuration match the approved planogram exactly. Any deviation is a non-conformance.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Product facings meet planogram minimum facing count

Each SKU must have the minimum number of facings specified on the planogram. Underfacing reduces visual impact and sales velocity.

Yes No N/A

Product depth (fill level) — shelves filled to planogram depth

Assess whether shelves are filled to the planogram-specified depth. Select the condition that best describes the display.

Product adjacency standards met (correct categories/brands adjacent)

Confirm that adjacent products on and around the endcap match the adjacency requirements in the planogram (e.g., no competing brand placed in a vendor-funded endcap).

Yes No N/A

No unauthorized or off-plan SKUs present on the display

Check that no products outside the approved planogram have been placed on the endcap or feature display. Unauthorized SKUs are a non-conformance.

Yes No N/A

Price Sign Accuracy

Every SKU on the display has a posted price sign critical (required)

No product should be displayed without a corresponding price sign. Missing price signs are a critical non-conformance and may violate state pricing accuracy regulations.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Posted price matches POS system / current ad price critical (required)

Scan or verify at least one unit per SKU to confirm the shelf price matches the POS ring price. Discrepancies are a critical non-conformance.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Price signs are legible, undamaged, and correctly positioned under the product

Signs must be readable from a standing customer position, free of tears or fading, and placed directly below or adjacent to the product they reference.

Yes No N/A

Price sign format complies with corporate standard (font, color, size)

Confirm signs use the approved corporate price sign template. Handwritten or non-standard signs are a non-conformance unless explicitly authorized.

Yes No N/A

Promotional Signage Currency and Accuracy

All promotional signs reflect the current active promotion period critical (required)

Check the effective dates on all promotional signs. Any sign with an expired date range is a non-conformance and must be removed immediately.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Promotional sign messaging matches the approved corporate promotional brief

Verify that the offer (e.g., 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free', '25% Off') exactly matches the approved promotional brief or circular. Unauthorized modifications are a non-conformance.

Yes No N/A

No expired or prior-period promotional signs remain on or near the display critical (required)

Inspect the display and surrounding area for any leftover signs from previous promotions. Expired signs must be removed and disposed of per corporate signage policy.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Vendor-supplied promotional materials are approved and on the authorized vendor list

Any vendor-provided POP materials (banners, shelf talkers, wobblers) must appear on the current authorized vendor display list. Unapproved materials must be removed.

Yes No N/A

Display Fixture Condition and Structural Integrity

Fixture is structurally stable — no wobble, lean, or unsecured components critical (required)

Push gently on the fixture to test stability. Any wobble, lean, or loose shelving is a critical safety deficiency. Remove product and take fixture out of service until repaired.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Fixture height does not obstruct sightlines or exceed store maximum display height policy

Confirm the display does not exceed the store's maximum approved height (typically 60–72 inches for freestanding endcaps). Excessive height creates tip-over and visibility hazards.

Yes No N/A

Fixture surfaces are clean, free of damage, sharp edges, or protruding hardware

Inspect shelves, uprights, and base for cracks, sharp edges, or protruding screws/bolts that could injure customers or associates. Deficiencies must be corrected before restocking.

Yes No N/A

Safety, Housekeeping, and Aisle Access

Aisle width adjacent to display meets minimum 28-inch clear aisle requirement (OSHA 1910.22(b)) critical (required)

Measure or estimate the clear aisle width on both sides of the endcap. Display overhangs, stacked product, or fixtures encroaching on the aisle below 28 inches are a critical safety deficiency.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Display does not obstruct emergency exit, fire extinguisher, or sprinkler head access (NFPA 1 / OSHA 1910.37) critical (required)

Confirm no part of the display or its product overhang blocks an emergency exit path, fire extinguisher, AED, or sprinkler head. This is a critical life-safety deficiency requiring immediate correction.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Display area floor is clean, dry, and free of trip hazards (spills, debris, empty pallets)

Inspect the floor immediately around the display. Wet floors, cardboard debris, or empty pallets left in the aisle are slip/trip hazards per OSHA 1910.22(a).
