A consistent daily routine keeps small issues from becoming big problems. Use this as a starting checklist.

Opening

Check deliveries and stock levels; confirm EPOS and ordering systems are online across website, app and in-store; brief staff on the day’s specials or issues.

During service

Monitor order queue and preparation times; check in on collection and delivery order flow; address any customer issues immediately as they arise.

Stock and waste

Track stock levels through the day to flag items running low; log any waste to inform future ordering and menu decisions.

Customer feedback

Monitor incoming reviews and messages; respond promptly to any complaints raised during service.

Closing

Reconcile daily sales and payments against your EPOS records; secure cash and close down systems correctly; note any equipment or stock issues for follow-up.

End-of-day review

Check sales performance against a typical day; flag any recurring issues (delays, errors, complaints) for the next team briefing.

Weekly, on top of daily tasks

Review sales and item performance data; check upcoming stock needs; review staff scheduling for the week ahead.
