Complete 60 minutes before the first reservation. Every team member should walk the dining room after setup. The pre-shift briefing should cover tonight's menu, allergens, wine pairings, and VIP guests.
A pre-service preparation checklist for fine dining restaurant managers and maître d's ensuring every detail meets the elevated standard expected in white-tablecloth service. Covers linen inspection, silverware polishing and placement, crystal glassware check, centrepiece and candle arrangement, wine service preparation, and the pre-shift briefing that aligns the entire team on the evening's covers, VIPs, and specials.
Fine dining operates on details that casual restaurants can overlook — a water spot on a wine glass, an uneven tablecloth fold, a wilted petal. This checklist ensures the restaurant presents flawlessly before the first guest arrives and that every member of the team knows the evening's service plan.
