Seven checklists cover a Coffee Shop & Cafe's day. They start when stock arrives and end when you lock up. Use them for deliveries, opening, the espresso bar, filter coffee, the food display, closing, and weekly equipment checks. Use them on paper. Run them free on any phone. You can also load the structured version into your own software.
