"Improve service" is too broad to guide a shift. A clearer instruction might be: acknowledge arriving clients promptly, give them space when they want it, and make sure the three clients waiting for a size confirmation receive an update before lunch.
A team does not need a longer huddle. It needs to leave the huddle knowing what matters, who owns it and when the manager will check back!

That gives the team an observable action and gives the manager something fair to follow up. It also leaves room for judgment. A luxury interaction should not sound like a script repeated to every customer.
At the start of a shift, I would also confirm the floor positions, appointments, breaks and back-up cover. If trade changes, the plan changes. The manager needs to explain the adjustment instead of assuming everyone has noticed.
Retail Lens has sessions on daily huddles, floor zones, observation and coaching, and handovers. They are short because the real test is whether the idea can be used on the floor. What makes a shift huddle useful in your store?
