FREE RESTAURANT RESOURCE
Free Restaurant Manager Daily Checklist
Managers need visibility, not another copy of every staff task. Use this page to keep priorities, staffing, service, stock and follow-up visible through the shift.
Free. No email required. Printable in your browser.
What this free template helps you do
Give the manager one short operational review without duplicating FOH and BOH checklists.
What's included
- Top three priorities
- Staffing review
- Service review
- Inventory notes
- Cash / POS exceptions
- Maintenance and follow-up
- Tomorrow's priorities
How to use it
- Open the free pack or Canva version.
- Remove tasks that do not apply and add your own SOP-specific items.
- Assign ownership clearly.
- Use notes for exceptions and follow-up, not for storing the whole shift history.
This is a general operations starting point. Add the food-safety, employment, security and regulatory procedures required for your business and location.
