Before checking out (and falling asleep) at the end of a shift, it’s important to close the bar properly. So you can rest easy knowing everything’s done and ready for the next shift.
You need to carry out the following opening and closing procedures.
Bar opening tasks include:
- Inspecting the outside of your premises for rubbish.
- Checking the entrance is clean and clear – Are there any visible bins? Is anything obstructing the entrance?
- Ensuring the rest of the premises is clean – is the floor clean? Have the tables been wiped down?
- Checking the inventory for any missing items.
- Testing whether the taps work properly.
- Replacing or refilling any condiments or tabletop items.
- Preparing the till for service.
Bar closing tasks include:
- Wiping down taps.
- Rinsing all the drains thoroughly.
- Setting all the glasses up to dry.
- Dating any newly opened bottles of wine.
- Cleaning behind the bar.
- Taking out the rubbish and recycling.
