UK Edition: Fast Food Restaurant Task Cards: Counter, Drive-Thru and Food Hygiene, SEND KS4

Before a learner starts a work placement at a fast food restaurant, they need two things: the words people will use, and the steps for the jobs they will actually be given. This set gives them both, in plain language, with no worksheets that look like they were made for a much younger child.

This set is front of house only: the counter, the drive thru, drinks, and the lobby.

What is in it (fast food restaurant)

• A job snapshot: 4 common roles (front counter crew, drive thru order taker, drive thru window, lobby attendant), what a shift looks like, and what supervisors look for

• 16 vocabulary cards and a matching worksheet

• 5 task sequence cards (take a counter order; take a drive thru order; hand out a drive thru order; fill a drink order; restock the condiment station) with put it in order worksheets

• 8 safety rules and a safe or unsafe sort

• 12 "what is the rule here?" procedure cards and a planner for writing answers

• An on the job checklist the learner and the supervisor or job coach both rate

• An answer key and blank cards so you can add your own placement's routines

How I use it: snapshot and vocabulary first, then I model one task card at a time and the learner practises while a partner reads the steps. Procedure cards work best three or four at a time as a starter or with role play. The checklist goes out before a placement visit and comes back after, so you have simple ratings to bring to an EHCP annual review or SEN Support review and to the Preparing for Adulthood employment outcomes.

Every placement is different, so the answer key says so: if a learner's answer matches the rule at their real placement, count it.
