Express Coffee Audit
This document provides a detailed framework for conducting thorough coffee cart audits in food service environments. The checklist encompasses three main areas: equipment inspection, cleaning protocols, and quality assurance. For equipment, it verifies the condition of coffee carts, pricing displays, and essential components. The cleaning section ensures proper maintenance of all machine parts, including hoppers, milk systems, and contact surfaces. Quality control measures examine coffee bean storage, service standards, and barista expertise. The audit tool helps maintain consistent coffee service standards, ensure food safety compliance, and verify staff competency in equipment operation and maintenance. It includes specific checks for popular drinks like Americano and Cappuccino, ensuring they meet established quality requirements.
