Breakfast Buffet Front Server Closing Checklist
This breakfast buffet front server closing checklist helps front-of-house teams shut down efficiently and consistently. Tasks include breaking down coffee and juice stations, turning off heating elements, returning and cleaning carafes with urn cleaner, and wiping soda and coffee areas. Staff should leave two bins of rollups or polish silverware, clear the expo line and store items correctly, and leave the OJ container at the dishwasher. Reset dining areas for the next day by setting tables, checking and refilling sugars and salt and pepper shakers, and ensuring everything is stored in the correct location. Sections include Conducted on, Prepared by, and Closing Sidework for clear accountability and record keeping.
