Closing Visit Checklist
Use this closing visit checklist to support end-of-day restaurant operations. Verify exterior signage and lighting, complete HACCP and temperature checks, manage stock and prep for the next day, count hot bags, ensure staffing matches the schedule, and continue taking orders up to closing time. Confirm safety and security after close, set the correct cash float, record deliveries and transfers, print and attach end-of-day reports, collate card slips, tidy the office, file paperwork, and test the alarm. Designed for quick service restaurants and shift managers.
