Try the job before you interview for it.
Most people choose a career from a job description and find out what it actually involves eighteen months later. This is seven days of the real thing — the problems an operations manager handles on an ordinary morning, put in front of you while the decision is still yours to make.
You run it alongside a cohort that started the same week. Five fifteen-minute simulations, one live session with someone who does this for a living, and an honest read on how you actually think under pressure.

The 7-Day Dark Store Manager Challenge
A dark store is the ten-minute delivery warehouse behind your grocery app. Somebody runs it. For seven days, that is you — and this is the board you run it from.
- 09:022 pickers marked absent
- 09:07Customer complaint · order #4471
- 09:12Rain warning issued for the zone
- 09:15Inventory mismatch on 6 SKUs
Every number on that board moves because of something you did. Click-to-dispatch is the one the store is judged on — under 180 seconds, from the moment an order lands to the moment a rider leaves with it. Everything else is what makes that number possible.
One shift at a time.
Each day is a continuous simulation, not a quiz. Your decisions move the store's numbers, and the numbers are what you are assessed on.
