Example for the Standard package

SOP set: opening and closing procedures for a small café

SOP-02: Closing the café

PurposeLeave the café clean, safe and ready for the morning shift
WhoThe closing barista; the shift lead signs off
WhenStart at 5:30 pm, doors locked at 6:00 pm, finished by 6:45 pm
You needClosing 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

  1. At 5:30 pm, turn the door sign to "Last orders". Customers already inside can stay until 6:00.
  2. 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.
  3. Take out the portafilters and soak them in the black container with one cleaning tablet. Leave them for 20 minutes.
  4. Move cakes and sandwiches to the back fridge. Label anything opened today with today's date and "Use by tomorrow".
  5. 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.
  6. At 6:00 pm, lock the front door and turn the sign to "Closed".
  7. 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

ProblemWhat to do
Fridge above 5 °CMove food to the second fridge, note the time and temperature, message the shift lead
Z report does not printReplace the paper roll; if it still fails, write the total from the screen and photograph it
Alarm will not setCheck the back door is fully shut; the alarm will not arm with it open

About this service

Mis-picks, damaged parcels and stock that "disappears" usually trace back to a step people do differently. We write warehouse SOPs from your notes and screenshots: receiving and inspecting inbound stock, putaway and bin locations, picking and packing, labels and carrier handoff, returns processing and cycle counts. Each SOP lists the role, tools, steps and the check that catches the mistake before the parcel leaves.

What is included

  • What you getWarehouse and fulfillment SOPs as formatted text for your wiki, WMS notes or printed station cards. You also get it as a Word (.docx) or PDF file. We write from your notes and screenshots and do not access your systems.

What you ship and how much, your warehouse layout and bin naming, your software and scanners, carriers, packing rules and the errors you see most.

We will ask you:

  • What do you ship, and how many orders a day?
  • Which software and carriers do you use?
  • Which mistakes happen most often?

Questions and answers

Do you write for marketplace fulfillment rules?

Yes, paste the prep and labeling requirements of Amazon FBA, Ozon or Wildberries and we build them into the steps. Documents can also be attached as PDF, Word or Excel files.

Can you include forklift or safety rules?

We can describe your site rules, but equipment safety needs official training and does not rely on our SOP.

Can each SOP fit on one card?

Yes. Tell us and we also write a short station card version of each SOP.
