This restaurant operations checklist helps quick service teams assess daily standards across the front of house and back of house. Review exterior and guest areas for cleanliness and first impressions, verify uniforms and product availability, and check counters, floors, and food handling. Inspect equipment like ovens, fridges, freezers, and coffee machines; confirm bread and prep specs; and record temperatures. Validate cash controls including 1 minute cash in, safe float, banking summaries, WISR variances, and control sheets. Ensure logs, kill lists, sanitizer strength, and required charts are complete. Evaluate upselling, receipts, and overall customer service. Confirm weekly books and training completion, and document findings with photos.
