The checklist covers kitchen line setup, hot and cold holding, prep tables, breading, sanitizer setup and concentration, produce wash, equipment, and front counter readiness. Managers can note who is on primary and secondary stations, record temperatures, confirm timers, and verify cleanliness and stock levels. Designed for assistant managers and team leaders, it is intended to be completed twice per day in about 10 to 15 minutes.
