10+

A practical end-of-night duty manager checklist for hospitality teams covering bars, restaurants, function rooms, and the cellar. Steps include putting away deliveries, cleaning and tidying the cellar, closing down main and atrium bars, replenishing chilled wines, clearing tables, and laying areas for breakfast or next service. It also guides full security walks, locking gates and doors, bringing in outdoor furniture, handling dirty linen, and ensuring all fire exits are clear. Admin tasks include cashing up and banking, balancing tills, documenting voids and refunds, and completing a detailed handover to night staff.
