It covers bar equipment checks such as margarita machines, glass washer chemicals and cleaning, coffee machine cleaning, fridges restocked and doors cleaned, bottles capped, sinks dried, and devices like iPad and PDQ plugged in. Front of house tasks include sweeping and mopping floors, bin replacement, table reset and alignment, waiter stations organized and refilled, host stand and main glass door cleaned, napkin baskets and blue roll topped up, and outside areas secured with A board inside. It also prompts air conditioning and lights off, downstairs bar cleared and closed, lifts and stairs cleaned, security and cash float checks, and notes for handover.
