Bar Morning Checklist for Farm and Fire

by Alex Zahrebelnyi, from the Community

This bar morning checklist helps teams prepare for service with a clean and organized workspace. Tasks include cleaning the coffee machine and portafilters, emptying and polishing glassware, refreshing garbage and recycling with new bags, and deep cleaning beer and cocktail zones. Staff confirm liquor and syrup bottles are full and stored in fridges, organize and wipe fridges inside and out, dust liquor shelves, and tidy the POS area. Bar mats are washed and set, 86 items are communicated to managers, floors are mopped including hard to reach areas, and shift waste is recorded. The checklist also prompts noting equipment issues, scheduling maintenance, and capturing photos of key areas including coffee, POS, cocktail, glass washing, and fridge interiors, plus verifying liquor, tap beer, and wine storage conditions.
