TTI Nightly Closedown Checklist

by Daniel Chrisp, from the Community

This nightly closedown checklist helps hospitality teams complete end‑of‑day duties across bar, kitchen, and front of house. Tasks include tidying the cellar, replenishing stock, resetting tables and condiments, cleaning coffee and cocktail stations, sanitising ice wells and nozzles, recording wastage, and emptying bins. Manager actions cover till closeout, expense logging, delivery note filing, payment analysis, and daily risk checks. Final security steps confirm all doors and windows are locked and the venue is ready for the next service. Results are automatically emailed to the General Manager for visibility and compliance.
