Why these checklists matter

A good opening checklist catches problems before service — fridge temperatures, dates due, stock rotation. A good closing checklist keeps the kitchen safe overnight — gas off, fryers cool, bins out, hand-wash station stocked. Both are exactly the sort of "systems in place" evidence EHOs look for under the confidence-in-management score.

Tired of paper that goes wet, lost, or "forgotten"?

LogFather checklists run on the phone or tablet— refresh every shift, staff sign off with a PIN, and the owner gets an email if anything's been skipped two days running. £24/month, cancel any time.
