Tasks include stock expiry checks, waste disposal, turning off lights, fans and music, closing and covering Micros stations, collecting financial reports and the debit machine, securing doors and keys, and documenting variances. Front of house actions cover furniture and floor cleaning, sanitizing menus, setting side stations, refilling condiments and water, organizing the hostess desk, and charging devices. Bar actions cover cash count, cleaning wells and bar tops, locking fridges, restocking, and equipment checks. Kitchen and runner steps ensure stations are sanitized, supplies restocked, coffee and beverage stations reset, and silverware and roll ups prepared.
