Candy Checkout Counter: Allocate Payment, Packing and Handover
A checkout counter joins several tasks in a small area. The equipment and largest shopping bag should set the brief before the front styling.
Start with the decision
Place the terminal, till where used, scale, packaging and completed order on a measured layout. Include open drawers and a standing attendant so hidden conflicts appear before production.
Work through the details
Keep customer-facing product information separate from staff paperwork and personal order details. Any impulse display should leave a clear terminal and handover space rather than turning payment into another browsing obstacle.
A planning example
A customer pays while a second order is being packed. If the open bag covers the terminal or the finished order blocks the next handover, change the counter zoning. Measure the largest routine bag rather than assuming all transactions use a small sweet packet.
Check it in the shop
Rehearse two orders and a refill at once. Confirm service height and access requirements with the appropriate local professionals, and agree who supplies, connects and maintains the equipment.

Should impulse products occupy all spare checkout space?
Keep payment, packing, privacy and handover workable first. Use only the remaining space for a clearly labelled selection.
