Setting up the diner

The initial setup

This is the bare minimum set up that would need to be done to open, often completed by donut staff

• Check the outside area is clean and tidy, if needed pickup any rubbish and use the leaf blower or broom to remove leaves.

• Take outdoor furniture out and setup, try and keep it all lined up and straight, chairs tucked in neatly

• If tables are unstable, place a piece of cardboard underneath the table leg so tables are stable. One of the cutlery pouches would work well or whatever is at hand, but just make sure it looks tidy and won’t slip out.

• Check to make sure outside tables are clean, sometimes at night some stains will be missed. If so just use a chux and pink spray to wipe

• Inside, put chairs down and make sure they are tucked under tables neatly. Make sure tables are clean, if needed wipe with a chux and pink spray.
