Cover critical pre-open tasks between 7:00–7:30am, including turning on ovens and small equipment, setting up the coffee machine and milk station, prepping acai and juicer stations, labeling and rotating fridge items, restocking displays, preparing pastries and sandwiches, cleaning glass, tables, and POS, arranging outdoor seating and signage, and confirming labels and soup stations. Use this template to standardize routines, maintain food safety and presentation, and ensure the venue is clean, stocked, and ready for customers.
