Pocket OER Restaurant Operations Checklist

This Pocket OER checklist helps restaurant teams assess day-to-day readiness and food safety across the store. It covers front-of-house presentation, customer area standards, uniform and grooming compliance, and detailed makeline controls including sanitization timing, product dating, temperatures, gluten-free kit availability, and equipment condition. It also checks oven cleanliness, routing and delivery bag readiness, chiller organization, and general hygiene practices like handwashing, pest control devices, soap and sink availability, and ventilation cleanliness. Storage, racking, tray handling, and back-of-house security are included, along with washing area practices and toilet upkeep. Final compliance sections verify temperature logs and recent pest control visits.
