Restaurant Opening Checklist

Riyaaz Amlani, The founder of Social offline once said "80% of all restaurant operations are the same"

He was absolutely correct.

This checklist contains everything that I have come across in building restaurants in the past 12+ years divided into -

1. Admin and finance
2. Electricals & Small machinery
3. Licensing & Relationships
4. Construction
5. Kitchen utensils & equipment list
6. Crockery,Cutlery,glassware list
7. Daily Ops Must-Haves

It has the smallest details like QR code stickers and stapler to important things like licensing and kitchen utensil list neatly packed into an Excel sheet.

If you're building your own restaurant, you can work with clarity and can easily delegate and track tasks. Even if you are building yourself - The process won't stress you out because you will know what to prepare for!

I started this as a note in my phone years ago and I'm so glad to share it with you today!

Forever be a work in progress.
