General Housekeeping
A clean, well kept restaurant will help project a message of professionalism.
A weekly cleaning schedule with specific tasks should be developed and followed. Tasks include vacuuming, dusting, restroom cleanup, trash, washing windows, etc. Restrooms will be used by a majority of your customers. Thus, it is important to maintain clean, well stocked restrooms. Develop a daily cleaning schedule and ensure that it is followed.
