Village Grocer Opening Checklist

by Kitchens @ Oxley Village Grocer, from the Community

This Village Grocer opening checklist helps grocery and supermarket teams prepare the store for trade. Tasks include disabling alarms, switching on lights and air conditioning, confirming registers are operational with the required float, displaying newspapers, and ensuring registers and counters are clean and stocked. Housekeeping covers clean floors, lined bins, sanitized work surfaces, tidy uniforms, and topped-up handwash stations. Food safety checks confirm salumi and cheese fridges are below 4C, the hot cabinet is on and set to 70C, and it is filled with daily snacks for tradies. Use this list to standardize opening routines and maintain safety and service standards.
