Catering and Joint Audit Checklist

This Catering and Joint Audit Checklist helps restaurants and catering teams assess operational readiness and compliance on a recurring basis. Use it to review front and back of house cleanliness, menu display and marketing materials, staff uniforms and timekeeping, and preparation for events. Verify food safety practices including temperature logs before dispatch, correct labeling, hot and cold holding, and proper packing to prevent cross contamination. Evaluate boxed meal assembly, portioning, and consistency, as well as teamwork and staffing for on time departures. Confirm safety and sanitation behaviors such as hand washing, glove use, stocked hand sinks, and secure back doors. Include company vehicle checks for cleanliness, lights, wipers, and parking. Designed for RCD use, this audit supports evaluations at least every six months and can be customized to suit local requirements.
