Restaurant Daily Operations & Manager Log Pack: Restaurant Manager Log Template

Full description

This pack is for restaurant managers, shift leaders and owners who run service every day and want one set of records that works. It gives you a workbook that calculates the numbers, printed forms for the floor and the office, and short SOPs that tell a new shift leader exactly what to do. You fill in the blue cells and the forms. The workbook calculates labour %, spend per cover, cash variance, waste cost, guest ratings and open equipment faults, then compares this week with last week on one dashboard.

Save with a bundle: this template is also in the Restaurant & Café Operations Bundle, 17 templates for $39 instead of $116. All 141 templates are in the All-Access Hospitality Template Library for $79.
