This restaurant opening audit checklist helps managers verify afternoon readiness across the bar, server stations, kitchen line, and entire venue. It covers lighting, exterior cleanliness, garnish and drink stations, shake station setup, restrooms, and sanitation. FOH tasks include patio setup, host stand supplies, menus and silverware, windows and entry mats, and server station stock. BOH tasks include dish pit setup, fryer, grill and flat-top cleaning, utensil readiness, stocking meats, buns, toppings, and temperature checks. A final double-check ensures ambiance, TVs, table stability, railings and surfaces are clean, and shift notes are prepared, supporting smooth service by 5:30 PM.
