This closing checklist guides coffee bar staff through every step required at the end of shift. It covers pre-close cleaning and organization, post-close sanitation, restocking of lids, napkins, straws and cutlery, and equipment care for the espresso machine, grinder, puq press and milk rinser. It includes fridge and freezer temperature compliance checks, device sanitization, bin emptying, floor cleaning, and tidy storage areas. The final section confirms clocking out, securing doors and windows, ensuring the espresso machine status, syncing iAuditor, charging handheld devices, and noting any issues to the Brand Manager.
