Aisle 4 · the shelf

Eight screens. All of them, full size.

The whole of CareShop, in the order a house meets it.

The shelf · 8 screens

Pick one up.

Each one is captioned with what it is, and the one thing it proves.

  1. 01Buy queue All houses · what is short, who asked, who approved, and the cheapest shop on the price list. What this provesFive origins and no sixth — a menu shortfall, an expiry, a par breach, a reserve gap, or a resident’s diet tag — and every request carries exactly one, preserved through to purchase. Where a purchasing rule decided, the rule is recorded in place of an approver.
  2. 02Menu · this week One house, one week, checked against the tags of the people who live there. What this provesThe allergen line warns and never prevents: preventing a menu teaches people to work around the product. A resident on this screen is “Room 3” — a label, never a name.
  3. 03Expiry Watch Every dated item across the houses, most urgent first, with the value at risk totalled at the foot. What this provesDated at entry, not guessed. Three actions and each is one step from the row: use it, replace it — which files a request carrying the expiry origin — or discard it, which writes a waste movement with a note.
  4. 04Zones Pantry, fridge, freezer, reserve — in the walk order the house sets, not the one a catalogue would pick. What this provesOn hand is never typed. Count, scan, cook, discard or close a receipt — each one writes a movement carrying the actor, the reason and a key that records it exactly once. Par is the one number set directly, because a par is a target and not a fact.
  5. 05Cook this Today’s prep in the house’s own time zone, the allergen check before you plate. What this provesComplete, and stock goes down exactly once however many times completion is attempted. The tray note is rendered at the moment of viewing and stored on nothing.
  6. 06Shopping An aisle-ordered list priced by store; a pick becomes Purchased with the real shop and the real cost. What this provesEvery action works with no signal and lands exactly once on reconnection, so a pick is never counted twice. Closing the run is the only moment stock rises from a shop.
  7. 07Today Willow House, one shift: what to restock, what is dated, what is for dinner. What this provesThe first screen after sign-in answers one question — what does this house need today — and every line on it is a link into the loop rather than a notification.
  8. 08Today The same briefing, rolled up: every house, and the cost of the next run. What this provesSame day, two briefings, one record underneath. The roll-up counts houses; it never ranks them, because a count is not a grade.

Drag it, flick it, or use the arrow keys. Every screen here is the product itself.

On a laptop, at the desk

The same queue, at the till.

What to buy and nothing else. Each line says where it came from, who asked, and the last price at the cheapest shop.

  1. The banner. Until a provider inspected on that track has reviewed the rule set, it says so here and on every export — including the one you hand a surveyor.
  2. The origin, on the row. Without it the queue is a list; with it, the queue is diagnosable.
  3. The confidence on a citation. Ten Oregon citations are explained in the product; every other catalogue row carries the bare rule text and seeds inferred.
  4. Asked, then approved — by a person, or by the purchasing rule that decided instead of one.
  5. Expiry Watch beside the queue: most urgent first, the money at the foot, and Make the shopping list one step away.
  6. One search field and one palette, the same four verbs the phone carries. Nothing on the web that is not on the phone.

Bulk approval, and where it stops. Small requests can be approved together. Anything above your threshold is decided one at a time.

The four labels

Four words, and no fifth.

Every item in the store wears exactly one of them. Four words for the state of an item. Three of them are on the screens above; a reserve gap is marked separately.

  • Short

    Below the par the provider set; it is in the buy queue.

  • Expiring

    Dated inside the window and still on the shelf.

  • Stocked

    At or above par, nothing to do.

  • Over

    More than the shelf needs — a note, not an alarm.

Without touching the mouse

Every key the store answers to.

The rail, the ticket switcher and the palette were built for a keyboard first.

  • ⌘KCtrl KOpen the palette: the verbs, the nine rooms and all eight screens, in one field
  • ←→Walk to the previous or the next aisle of the page you are on
  • ←→On the shelf rail, or on a ticket switcher: the previous or the next screen
  • HomeEndOn a ticket switcher: the first screen, or the last
  • TabThe rail itself takes focus, so a keyboard reaches the screens without a mouse
  • EscClose the palette, the drawer, or an open aisle
