Conduct an internal, unannounced food safety review across dining rooms, kitchen, storage, and service areas. This checklist guides manager introductions, knowledge checks on reportable illnesses, and documentation verification. Inspect hand sinks, sanitizer levels, ice machines, refrigeration temperatures, shelf-life labeling, glove use, utensil cleanliness, and cooking temperatures. Review back sinks, walk-ins, chemical storage, pest control, restrooms, and exterior conditions. Conclude with a recap of results, strengths, and next steps with the manager.
