Write opening, closing and shift checklists so you can step back

The problem

If only you know how to open up, you can never take a day off. Clear checklists let staff run a shift properly.

What AI does

AI tidies your own description of opening, running and closing the café into clear tick-box checklists your team can follow. It keeps your food safety steps exactly as you wrote them and adds none of its own.

Time

Time: About 45 minutes onceTools: ChatGPT, Google Docs

The steps, in short

  1. Talk through or write down everything you do from unlocking to locking up.
  2. Have AI turn your notes into short checklists in order.
  3. Check the food safety steps match your own food safety system.
  4. Try each list with a team member and fix anything unclear.
