Restaurants and bars

Prep done, tables planned, lines cleaned, waste counted and the till cashed up.

Service is planned in the hour before it starts and reconciled in the hour after it ends, and both hours run on paper. These cover the prep, the plan, the cellar and the cash. No temperatures, no shelf lives and no cleaning frequencies are printed: those come from your own food safety system and the rules where you trade.

Sheets in Restaurants and bars

Bar Float and Cash Up Sheet

Cash up a bar with several tills so that a short drawer is found on the night and has a till and a shift attached to it, instead of vanishing into one bag.

RB-01 1 page

Cellar Line Cleaning Record

Show that every line was cleaned to your own interval, with the product and the person written down, so a flat or cloudy pint can be traced to a line and a date.

RB-02 1 page

Coffee Machine Clean and Service Log

Keep an espresso machine's daily clean and its service history on one sheet, so a fault or a filter change can be dated and the engineer sees what was done.

RB-03 1 page

Daily Specials Costing Sheet

Price the specials from their ingredients rather than by guesswork, and see the next morning which ones sold, which were wasted and which are worth running again.

RB-04 1 page

Delivery Platform Order Reconciliation

Check that what the delivery platforms paid matches what they took, order by order, so a missing payout or an unexplained refund is caught in the period it happened.

RB-05 1 page

Front of House Table Plan Sheet

Put a whole service's floor on one sheet before the doors open, so the host, the servers and the pass all work from the same plan and change it in the same pen.

RB-06 1 page

Function and Set Menu Order Form

Get a function's food, drink, room and money agreed on one sheet the kitchen and the organiser both hold, so the numbers on the night match what was ordered.

RB-07 1 page

Fryer and Gas Equipment Check Sheet

Make the opening cook look at every fryer and gas appliance before it is lit, and leave a record of who looked, what was wrong and who it was reported to.

RB-08 1 page

Glassware and Crockery Breakage Log

Turn breakages from a vague cost into a count by item, place and cause, so the reorder is right and the dishwasher rack or the station doing the damage is found.

RB-09 1 page

Keg and Cask Stock Rotation Sheet

Keep the oldest container next on and nothing sold past the brewery's date, with a week-end count of full stock, empties and returns that a stock take can use.

RB-10 1 page

Kitchen Equipment Fault Log

Give every fault on a fridge, fryer, oven or glass washer one line, so nothing is reported twice or forgotten once, and the manager can see what is still open.

RB-11 1 page

Kitchen Prep List by Section

Turn 'prep the section' into a list that can be worked down in order and handed over half done, with the par and the on-hand count on the same line.

RB-12 1 page

Kitchen Ticket and Pass Time Record

See where a slow service actually slowed — which course, which section, which table — from the times themselves rather than the argument afterwards.

RB-13 1 page

Mise en Place Check Sheet

Catch the missing garnish, the unlabelled tub and the empty backup before service starts, when there is still time to fix it.

RB-14 1 page

Bar Opening and Closing Duties

Hand over a bar that is actually set, and know at a glance who closed last night and what they left undone.

RB-15 1 page

Reservation Diary Page

Keep every booking for a service in one place the host stand can read at a glance, with the total covers against what the room can take.

RB-16 1 page

Section and Station Allocation Sheet

Settle who has what before the briefing and pin it where everyone can see it, so nobody asks mid-service and no table is left without a server.

RB-17 1 page

Spirit and Optic Measure Check

Find the optic that is short-pouring and the rail that is over-pouring before the stocktake finds them for you.

RB-19 1 page

Staff Meal and Discount Log

Make staff meals and discounted sales add up at the cash-up and at the stocktake, instead of turning up as an unexplained gap in both.

RB-20 1 page

Kitchen Supplier Order Pad

Order from a count rather than a guess, and check the delivery against the order you actually placed instead of the invoice the supplier sent.

RB-21 1 page

Table Turn and Covers Tally

Give the service a number: how many covers actually sat, how many tables turned, how many walked away, and where the room stalled.

RB-22 1 page

Takeaway Order and Collection Sheet

Keep phone and counter orders in one numbered list so the bag matches the customer, the promised time is written down and nothing is left under the lamp.

RB-23 1 page

Bar Wastage and Spillage Log

Give the stocktaker a line for every loss, so a gap between stock and sales can be explained rather than argued about.

RB-24 1 page

Wine List and Bin Number Record

Keep one master sheet behind the printed list, the cellar shelves and the till, so a bin number means the same wine in all three places.

RB-25 1 page

Restaurant Opening Checklist

Run the same opening round every time, across the whole restaurant rather than one station, so nothing gets skipped because someone was in a hurry before service.

RB-26 1 page

Cafe Inventory Sheet

Know what is actually on the shelf before placing an order, instead of reordering from memory or running out mid-morning.

RB-27 1 page

Bar Stock Count Sheet

Catch a shortfall at the count, where it is a number on a sheet, rather than weeks later when the margin has already gone.
