Cafe Safety Checklist

by Samuel Giuffre, from the Community

This cafe safety checklist helps teams perform daily inspections across front and back of house. Verify electrical equipment is safe, remove sharp-object hazards, and keep floors clear of spills. Confirm cleaning supplies are secured, surfaces are clean, and clear instructions and warnings are posted for hot equipment. Check utensils and furniture for damage, cover unused sockets, log fridge temperature, ensure HVAC, bins, and lighting function, and display emergency information to support compliance.
