Premises Opening and Closing Checklist

A free printable open and close checklist — your own items down the side, a column per day, initialled at both ends of the day.

First page of the Premises Opening and Closing Checklist — Turn the first and last twenty minutes of the day into two short lists that get initialled, instead of a routine somebody remembers most of the time.

What this sheet is for

Turn the first and last twenty minutes of the day into two short lists that get initialled, instead of a routine somebody remembers most of the time.

Who it is for

Shops, cafés, bars, salons, gyms, halls, workshops and clubs.

How to use it

  1. Write your own items in. Every premises has three or four that matter most.
  2. Keep both lists short — a long one gets ticked without reading.
  3. Initial each column, and have the closer initial the close.
  4. Note anything reported at the bottom, and act on it in the morning.
  5. Start a fresh sheet each week.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: The first and last twenty minutes of the day, as two lists that get initialled rather than remembered.

Add your own, and keep it short. Write your own items into the blank rows — every premises has three or four that matter more than anything printed here. The two lists are deliberately short: a long one gets ticked without reading.
