In Florida, a single failed health inspection can damage a restaurant's reputation overnight. The good news: staying inspection-ready is mostly about consistency. Here's the checklist our crews run.
Opening shift
- Sanitize all prep surfaces and cutting stations
- Check and wipe down handwashing stations, restock soap and towels
- Inspect floors for overnight spills or pests
- Sanitize door handles and high-touch points
During service
- Keep dish pit moving — no backlog of soiled ware
- Spot-clean spills immediately to prevent slips
- Wipe dining tables and menus between guests
- Empty trash before it overflows
Closing shift
- Full kitchen degrease — floors, equipment exteriors, and mats
- Run and sanitize all dishware and smallwares
- Deep-clean restrooms and restock
- Detail the dining room and reset for tomorrow
Where a cleaning partner helps
Most owners can't ask an exhausted closing crew to also deep-clean. That's where a specialized cleaning partner comes in — handling dishwashing, degreasing, and detailing so your staff focus on guests. That's exactly what BJUFILA was built to do.
