Kitchen Visit Checklist

by Andy Kingshott, from the Community

This Kitchen Visit template helps Executive Chefs assess kitchen operations during site visits. Use the 10-point hygiene audit to verify labeling, allergen controls, handwashing supplies, cleanliness, diaries, sanitizers, attire, probe availability, and allergen statements. Review MEP, setup, rota, ordering, food quality, seasoning, and presentation. Check menu matrices and dish specs, suppliers and SOPs for fresh chips, and log equipment and structural issues. Capture actions, timeframes, and sign-off for effective follow-up.
