Complete each section after last service. Record final temperatures in °F and note anything the morning crew needs to know.
A systematic closing checklist for the US kitchen team — covering FDA-compliant food cooling and storage, equipment shutdown, surface and floor cleaning, final °F temperature checks, and security lockup. Designed to be completed by the closing chef or lead cook after every service.
Work through each section in order. Follow FDA two-stage cooling requirements, ensure all food is properly stored and labeled, and leave the kitchen clean and secure for the morning crew. Keep completed forms on file for your HACCP and food safety documentation.
