Kitchen Checklist for Restaurant: Opening, Closing and Cleaning
KITCHEN CHECKLIST

Printable daily lists

Opening, mid-service, closing and weekly deep-clean tasks for Pakistan kitchens.

WHY IT MATTERS

Memory fails after rush

Gas left on, fridge doors open, raw/cooked cross-contamination risk.

A signed checklist survives food-authority surprise checks.

OPENING TASKS

Before first order

Check fridge/freezer temps and overnight prep.

Sanitize boards; heat oil safely; set mise en place.

DURING SERVICE

Keep hygiene tight

Wipe boards between raw and cooked.

Change gloves, label leftover pans, watch ticket times.

CLOSING TASKS

Leave kitchen safe

Turn off gas, clean hood areas, store food correctly.

Empty bins, mop floors, lock stores and sign the sheet.

WEEKLY DEEP CLEAN

Rotate heavy jobs

Soak hood filters, descale sinks, defrost freezers.

Adapt the template and hang it by the exit door.
