## Discussion Notes

The team reviewed the planned launch of the online farmers-market marketplace, which will allow customers to browse local vendors, place preorders, and choose pickup at the Saturday market.

Vendor onboarding is progressing, with 18 farms and food producers confirmed. Several vendors still need help uploading product photos and setting weekly inventory limits.

Operations recommended launching with pickup-only fulfillment for the first four weeks to keep the process manageable. Delivery may be added later if order volume and staffing allow.

Marketing plans include an email announcement to the market newsletter list, social posts featuring participating vendors, printed signs at the market, and a small launch discount for first-time online orders.

Engineering confirmed that checkout, vendor dashboards, and order exports are functional. Remaining work includes finalizing pickup time slots and improving mobile product filtering.

## Decisions

- Launch date is set for August 15, 2026.
- Initial launch will support pickup-only orders.
- Vendors must submit final product lists by July 24, 2026.
- Customers will choose from three pickup windows: 9:00 AM, 10:30 AM, and 12:00 PM.
- First-time customers will receive 10% off their first online order during launch week.

- Jordan: Add pickup time-slot selection to checkout by July 22.
- Luis: Draft pickup table staffing plan by July 26.
