Barnes Restaurant Opening Checklist

This daily restaurant opening checklist for Barnes covers front and back-of-house preparation to ensure a smooth service. Tasks include checking bookings and notes, turning on the Lightspeed POS, wiping benches and tables, sweeping floors, resetting chairs and table settings, setting up the dishwasher area and cutlery, preparing fresh polishing cloths, and checking restroom supplies. Staff restock the bar fridge with wines and spirits, replenish napkins, straws, takeaway bags, cloths, and ice, refill water bottles, slice fruit, top up takeaway dips using FIFO, fold pizza boxes, update the whiteboard for low stock, and prepare a margarita batch if required. This template provides a clear, repeatable routine for consistent opening standards.
