Administrator relies on self-reported incident logs from store managers, conducts spot-check audits, maintains separate Excel tracking by location, no automated alerting system for compliance drift • Advance coordination calls with receiving manager; WhatsApp confirmations of delivery time windows; manual pre-authorization sheets left with front desk; some venues skip verification or have office staff without ID verification training attempt the process • Compliance manager tracks failed deliveries in ad-hoc spreadsheets, communicates with store managers via email, manually flags customers in CRM notes, no systematic record of verification failure type
