Use the restaurant checklists as a guide for deciding what should be happening in every area of your restaurant to create the quality products, dining experience and operating results you expect. They will help you get organized and become aware of the essential tasks, procedures and practices that need to be performed in each area of your restaurant.

Modify each checklist to reflect your own specific procedures, practices and systems. Then use the checklists to periodically review your operation to determine whether the tasks are being performed correctly, consistent with the procedures and practices you've established.

Each checklist comes in a rich text format (.RFT) file format and can easily be modified in any work processing software to reflect your own unique operating standards and practices.
