Opening and closing checklist: stop losing stock every day
Nobody sees the fridge door left ajar overnight. By morning the stock has lost its cold chain and goes in the bin.
Multiply that by 30 days and it stops being a detail: it is margin disappearing without showing up anywhere.
What is inside
- An opening checklist with 18 tasks: equipment, refrigeration, hygiene and front-of-house setup
- A closing checklist with 29 tasks: till, storage, fridge doors, cleaning and waste
- A done/not-done column for every task
- Space for notes, the person responsible and a signature
- A monthly summary sheet with the problems logged and the priority actions
- Conditional formatting (green compliant, red non-compliant)
Benefits
- Less waste, because the routine stops depending on the memory of whoever closes
- Equipment lasts longer with simple daily checks
- Clear documentation if a customer complains
- Much faster shift handovers and training for new starters
