I do not have too much to say at this point, but suggestions for additional material to be included are welcome, as suggestions on content, or sections that I could make on the site that would better improve the organization and efficiency of the bike shop. Some thoughts are inventory management for tools, small /new parts for resale, and consumables; update-able work night tasks, and who knows what else?

Both SOCC's may work together to resolve any issue. Both SOCC's will communicate with each other regarding unavailability due to out of town vacations and the like to ensure that at least one SOCC will be available in case of emergency at any given time. Both SOCC's will have their contact numbers available in the shop for staff in case of such an emergency.
