This front-of-house facilities checklist helps restaurants prepare for opening with a quick, repeatable pre-shift inspection. Review exterior and parking areas for trash and debris; check foyer floors, thresholds, windows, blinds, baseboards, and lighting; confirm POP displays and menus are clean and current; set mats properly and ensure trash cans are emptied. Capture notes and signatures to document readiness and resolve issues before guests arrive.

Atrium Opening Checklist
This atrium opening checklist helps hospitality teams prepare indoor and outdoor dining areas for service. It covers front of house and light back of house tasks including cleaning and setting tables and booths, wiping chairs and cushions, clearing floors of spills and debris, topping up cutlery trays and napkin dispensers, refreshing the water station, and cleaning windows. It also prompts checks that projector menus are on, POS and cash drawers are ready, staff uniforms are presentable, and lights, music, and air conditioning are on. Ensure outdoor tables, chairs, umbrellas, and dog bowls are positioned correctly and that printed menus are on every table before guests arrive.
