Denny's Operations Excellence Report V2

This quarterly Operations Excellence Report is a comprehensive restaurant audit checklist for Denny's locations. It covers back-of-house and front-of-house standards including refrigeration temperatures, food safety and sanitation practices, equipment condition, line checks, production sheets, and proper thawing, cooking, cooling, and reheating procedures. FOH checks include first impressions, dining room setup, service gear, grooming and uniform standards, and the Guest First service cycle from welcome to farewell. The template also reviews bar station readiness, training materials and updates, manager-on-duty practices, and non-negotiable operational essentials. Restroom cleanliness and repair and maintenance tracking are included to ensure brand standards, guest satisfaction, and compliance.
