Restaurant Shift Briefing Checklist

by Dennis B, from the Community

This template is designed for restaurant and food service teams to run focused pre-shift briefings. Capture the outlet, date, manager and supervisors on duty, and track yesterday’s sales and today’s target. Plan station allocations for AM and PM shifts, list items to upsell, and log out-of-stock items. Record opportunities or challenges and actions taken, maintenance issues with quotes, and any new memos or training. Reinforce product knowledge, conduct grooming checks, and review health and safety before service.
