by Elliott Rodriguez Frias, from the Community

Use this morning walk around checklist to complete opening inspections across restaurant and bar areas at Canary Wharf. Verify waiter sections are clean and stocked, restrooms serviced and water temperatures correct, handhelds and PDQs charged, and rubbish cleared. Inspect bar operations including glasswasher, chemicals and salt, juicer, coffee machine components, dirty corners, mirrors, dispensers, labels, and floors. Check kitchen and kiosk supplies, FIFO and delivery storage in walk-in fridges, temperatures (below 2 C; freezer below -18 C), and labeling. Review KP and prep areas for cleaning, dishwasher maintenance, correct chemicals, water temps, and equipment condition. Confirm front line labeling, microwave, salamander, grills, drawers, and fridges are cleaned and working. Secure terrace bar doors and windows, switch off lights and heaters, and lock storage.
