Restaurant Opening in 12 days

[Godsmax]

My restaurant opens in 12 days. Everything seems to be in place, check lists are complete, training schedule complete, POS sytem being installed Tuesday,kitchen trainnig begins Monday.

The restaurant is a casual American place, Lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sat, Sunday Brunch and early family style dinner.

I was reviewing my station prep sheets and was wondering if anyone here had a great prep sheet formated. I have the stations broken down in an excel spread sheet that will also allow me to track pars and inventories.

I feel great about the one i have but i mam always looking for the thing I didn't think of.

There is a lot of experience here and I have been doing this for years but with every new project I really enjoy seeing what others do to either learn from it or confirm that what i doing makes sense.

Thanks.

Sorry. I don't have a great prep sheet formatted.

I do, though, have wishes of success and a smooth opening for you and your staff!

[Frantastic]

Geez - I never got a prep sheet!

I'm only a couple of hours away from Hot-Lanta.... can't wait to visit!

[Max_Xavier]

Your sheet sounds like it will do fine. I don't have one to give you.

Here is a list of items to bring with you to the new place that many people forget to have on hand...

tooth brush
comb
shaving cream and razor
sleeping bag
inflatable pillow


I hope all goes well and also hope you don't need to use those extra items

Gee whiz, Max, what about deodorant and a change of clothes?

Seriously, good luck on the opening! You will be keeping all of us posted, right?

It seems like yesterday we opened up, have a great ride its tonnes of fun!

I just but everything I know that must be on the station on an excel spreadsheet. I print them out everyday and highlight what must be prepped. The person working the station is responsible for reviewing the entire list to make sure that there station is stocked then before service a sous chef inspects their station according to a duplicate copy of the excel spreadsheet.

Think of the tiny things. Like a brush for rubbing oil on the grill, tasting spoons, etc.

Hey fella.. how's that new place doing?

Right, you should have been opened for about a month by now.

My guess is that he is in the hospital with a broken wrist from writing all those station prep sheets...

Hey there...

It has been crazy at the restaurant. Not insanely busy but with everything else going on it just about made me kill some people.

So far, so good. Liquor license not in yet due to some county issues. we took over an exsisting facility that the county ownes and now wanted all the other issues resolved so they connected us to their sewer system which limited us to water on specific days and times... fun.....

My web host crashed so the web site has been down for three days...

So...we are doing fine...catering is insane between weddings and corporate catering...we are almost going in the kitchen 24/7....I m looking forward to making money one day...or maybe two days...

thanks for asking
