Close Shift Tasks Checklist

Use this checklist to manage close shift tasks for coffee shops and drive-thrus. It guides staff through pre close and post close duties: cleaning bar areas, espresso machines, grinders and tools; emptying milk waste and coffee grounds; sanitizing devices and surfaces; restocking lids, napkins and utensils; organizing inventory; and preparing for the next morning. It includes espresso bar deep clean steps, grinder and puq press care, milk rinser cleaning, fridge and freezer temperature compliance checks, reporting issues, updating par levels, and final checks for equipment, doors and signage. A weather prompt reminds teams to secure boards and signs. Ideal for standardizing operations and improving consistency.
