Sonic Food Safety Self Assessment Checklist

This Sonic Food Safety self assessment helps restaurant teams verify critical controls and brand standards. Review imminent health risks, water availability, sanitizer readiness, and handwashing access. Check cleaning and sanitation, chemical labeling and storage, equipment and utensils cleaning frequency, and correct warewashing setup. Confirm employee health and hygiene practices, glove use, and proper handwashing. Validate time and temperature controls for TCS foods, including refrigeration at 41 F or below, correct cooking temperatures, hot holding at 135 F or above, and thermometer calibration. Evaluate good retail practices such as allergen management, date labeling, cross contamination prevention, and packaging use. Verify pest management services, equipment, and documentation. Ensure all required records are complete and accurate for cold holding, cooling and thawing, cooking, hot holding, receiving, and other food safety documentation.
