Ho scelto "done" perché mi serviva un'unica parola
e perché questa era la soluzione già proposta dal cliente
in inglese.
Le altre erano tutte giuste, variazioni dello stesso tema e alcune molto interessanti.

Grazie a tutti

And Bob's your uncle!


Explanation:
It depends on the product but this idiomatic expression might be appropriate.

The phrase is British in origin:

but it also seems to be well enough known in North America for a New York shop to use the name:
