Llevaba tiempo dándole vueltas a montar una tienda sin personal y este curso me aclaró todo el proceso. La parte de elegir la ubicación y dimensionar el stock para que la rotación funcione me pareció muy útil y realista. También agradecí que explicara los sistemas de pago automático y el control remoto del local. Le pongo cuatro estrellas porque sobre la prevención de robos y el mantenimiento esperaba un poco más de detalle, pero aun así lo recomiendo.

Le guide pour choisir l'emplacement et installer le système de paiement en libre-service est super concret. J'ai pu planifier mon magasin automatique étape par étape sans me sentir perdu, vraiment au top.
