This restaurant kitchen opening checklist helps teams prepare for service with consistent standards. Tasks include checking labels and cleanliness, setting up the hot line, switching on the dishwasher, and confirming refrigerators are below 5 C and freezers at minus 20 C. Staff verify food safety, look for signs of pests, review deliveries against invoices, move chilled items to storage, and ensure clean uniforms are available. The team identifies missing ingredients, checks for open or poorly stored containers from the night before, and completes the order list by 3 30 pm for chef approval.
