What this sheet is for

Set out who cleans what and how often, with initials against each day so the rota is a record rather than an intention.

Who it is for

Cafés, restaurants, pubs, care kitchens, school kitchens, catering vans and shared workplace kitchens.

How to use it

  1. Write your own method against each task, from the product's own instructions.
  2. Split the list by frequency — daily, weekly, deep clean.
  3. Initial as tasks are done, not at the end of the week.
  4. Have a supervisor check and sign.
  5. Note anything not done and why, rather than leaving a gap.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Who cleans what, how often, and the initials that say it was actually done.

No products or dilutions are printed. No product, dilution or contact time is printed here. Those come from the manufacturer's instructions for the product you actually use, and using them wrongly is worse than not using them at all. Write your own method against each task.

Write-on lines: Kitchen or area · Week beginning · Supervisor

Table, 12 rows: Task and area · Method — your own · Frequency · Mon · Tue · Wed · Thu · Fri · Sat · Sun · Checked by

Write-on lines: Deep cleaning due · Anything not done, and why

Questions

Why are no cleaning products or dilutions listed?

Because the method depends on the product you actually use, and using a sanitiser at the wrong dilution or contact time can be worse than not using one. The manufacturer's instructions are the source.
