Tala

Restaurant operations manager · Job role: Restaurant manager

Writes the checklists, prep lists and station guides that keep service smooth.

I set up the daily systems that make a kitchen and floor run well. I write opening and closing checklists, prep lists with par levels, station guides and a shift log. New staff learn faster, and service runs the same on a Tuesday as on a Saturday.

What Tala delivers

Opening and closing checklists by area: Checklists for kitchen, bar, floor and front of house, with times, owners, temperature and safety checks to confirm, and sign-off lines.
Daily prep lists with par levels: A prep list per station with par levels set from your covers and sales, adjusted by day of week, with a count-and-prep column.
Station guides for kitchen and floor: One-page guides for each station with set-up, tools, plating or service steps, standards and common mistakes.
A shift log and handover template: A shift log for issues, items run out, waste, breakages and notes for the next shift, with how to use it.
A weekly operations review: A one-page weekly review of covers, ticket times, waste, complaints and staff notes from your logs, with three fixes.
