Candy Jar Display: Plan the Opening and the Last Portion

The jar mouth decides whether the display can be used comfortably. Nominal capacity does not show how the final sweets will be reached.
Start with the decision
Try the chosen scoop or packaged product through the opening. Check the jar at low fill as well as full fill, and leave a stable place for its lid while someone is serving.
Work through the details
Attach the product name, selling unit and required information so it remains clear after the jar is moved. Glass, plastic and different lid designs need their own handling and cleaning instructions.


A planning example
A tall jar on the top shelf can be scooped when full but the last portion requires an awkward reach. Move the jar, choose another vessel or use an approved staff-service arrangement. Capacity should be evaluated through the full fill-to-empty cycle.
Check it in the shop
Set up the complete row at its intended shelf height. If customers must lift a heavy vessel or reach above a workable position, change the arrangement or use staff service instead.
