Operational Excellence Report Template

This operational excellence report template helps restaurant and food service teams audit brand delivery across each location. It guides assessments of exterior marketing, cleanliness, and maintenance; customer area readiness including furniture, floors, displays, and fridges; front counter standards for POP, build guides, cookie cabinet, hot wells, and POS; and back counter organization and equipment. It covers food safety checks such as temperatures, date and time controls, sanitizer strength, and cross‑contamination prevention. Back of house tasks include prep, storage, equipment cleanliness, fridge and freezer conditions, and walk‑in hygiene. Operations and guest experience sections ensure uniform compliance, tool usage, suggestive selling, accurate order prep, and packaging. Use this checklist to standardize audits and improve consistency across all stores.
