Use this daily kitchen opening and closing checklist to standardize hygiene and safety across shifts. It covers facility cleanliness (floors, walls, ceilings, lighting), handwashing and dishwashing areas, sanitization of work surfaces, and general housekeeping. Equipment checks include fridges and freezers, dishwasher, microwaves, gas hob, and shelving to confirm cleanliness, operation, and shutdown status. PPE storage and readiness are verified, and auditors can attach photos to nonconformances for evidence. Designed for twice-daily open and close routines, shutdowns, and cleaning, with a final sign-off section for accountability and compliance.
