SOP set: opening and closing procedures for a small café
SOP-02: Closing the café
| Purpose | Leave the café clean, safe and ready for the morning shift |
| Who | The closing barista; the shift lead signs off |
| When | Start at 5:30 pm, doors locked at 6:00 pm, finished by 6:45 pm |
| You need | Closing checklist sheet, till key, cleaning caddy, blue cloths |
Before you start
Warning: Never switch off the main power at the wall. The fridges and the alarm run on the same board.
Steps
- At 5:30 pm, turn the door sign to "Last orders". Customers already inside can stay until 6:00.
- Switch the coffee machine to rinse mode. Press and hold the cup button for 5 seconds. You should see: "RINSE" flashing on the display and hot water running through both group heads for about 2 minutes.
- Take out the portafilters and soak them in the black container with one cleaning tablet. Leave them for 20 minutes.
- Move cakes and sandwiches to the back fridge. Label anything opened today with today's date and "Use by tomorrow".
- Record the fridge temperatures on the log sheet. You should see: between 1 °C and 5 °C. If a fridge shows above 5 °C, go to step 12 first.
- At 6:00 pm, lock the front door and turn the sign to "Closed".
- Close the till. Press MENU, then "End of day", then "Z report". You should see: the report printing with today's total. Do not count the cash at the counter; take the drawer to the office.
(Steps 8–14: floors, bins, alarm and handover note.)
If something goes wrong
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Fridge above 5 °C | Move food to the second fridge, note the time and temperature, message the shift lead |
| Z report does not print | Replace the paper roll; if it still fails, write the total from the screen and photograph it |
| Alarm will not set | Check the back door is fully shut; the alarm will not arm with it open |

About this service
A shop runs on routines that experienced staff know by heart and new hires learn by mistakes. We write store procedures from your notes: opening and closing, cash register and cash counts, receiving deliveries, restocking and price tags, fitting rooms, returns and exchanges, and how to greet and help customers on the floor. Each procedure is a short set of steps with a check at the end, easy to use in a training session.
What is included
- What you getStore procedures and shift checklists as formatted text for a staff binder, a shared drive or your training app. You also get it as a Word (.docx) or PDF file. They describe your rules; return policies that depend on consumer law should be checked locally.

Questions and answers
Can you describe steps in our POS system?
Yes, from your screenshots of the till screens. We do not access the system ourselves.
Can it cover several branches?
Yes. Shared procedures go once, and branch differences such as hours or layout are marked.
Do you include theft prevention?
We can add the steps you use, such as bag checks or fitting room counts, written in a respectful way.
