A walk through everything we built in 2026
35 releases across the register, the sales floor, the back room, and the office. Start at the front door and follow the store to see what changed.
Every release this year started with a walk through a grocer’s store. You showed us where lines back up, where tags fall behind, and where the hours go in the back room. So this recap follows the same path. Here is what we built together, stop by stop.
