Restaurant Unit Visit Checklist

This store visit template helps restaurant leaders evaluate front- and back-of-house standards across cleanliness, food safety, inventory controls, HR and training, facilities and maintenance, marketing and merchandising, bar service, restrooms, and overall guest experience. Use it to verify nightly counts, payroll and petty cash controls, allergen menu availability, staff scheduling, training documentation, and equipment maintenance. Assess BOH prep, line checks, refrigeration, fryer and smoker maintenance, and plate specs. Review FOH ambiance, seating, and service leadership. Standardize unit visits, capture notes, and rate performance to drive consistency and compliance across locations.
