Day-to-day operating brief

What Greeter work looks like in practice

A retail Greeter provides the first point of contact at a store entrance, offering directions, supporting queues and recognising when a customer needs assistance. The position may observe exits or receipt processes but should not be treated as loss prevention merely because it is near the door. Contract terms should clarify the welcome and accessibility duties, promotional scripts, standing requirements, incident communication and strict limits on searches, restraint and confrontation.

Responsibilities to define

  • welcome customers and explain store services
  • direct visitors to departments or collections
  • support queues and accessible entry arrangements
  • provide approved promotional information
  • observe and report hazards or concerning behaviour
  • request management security or first-aid support

A realistic working scenario

An alarm sounds as a customer leaves and other shoppers look to the greeter to intervene. The employee follows the store's alert and security process, communicates calmly and does not block, accuse or search the customer without lawful authority.

Outputs to agree

  • welcoming accessible store entry
  • orderly customer flow and directions
  • prompt safe escalation of entrance incidents

Records and evidence

  • shift entrance and accessibility handover
  • queue or service exception
  • lost child vulnerable customer or first-aid alert
  • incident observation and escalation

Authority and escalation

The greeter may assist, communicate and summon authorised support. The role does not confer power to search, detain, use force, diagnose need or make accusations about theft.

Contract priorities

  • entrance hours and standing duties
  • customer communication and accessibility
  • security confrontation boundaries
  • weather incidents and lone positioning

Information the employer should prepare

  • the entrances hours and services covered
  • the queue promotion and receipt-check procedures
  • the seating breaks and weather exposure
  • the accessibility and communication support
  • the lost-child first-aid and evacuation role
  • the security and abusive-customer escalation route
