Traditionally, restaurant operations checklists are paper-based, filled out and replaced each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurant opening and closing checklists are grouped by restaurant departments, such as the front of house and back of house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Front of house:<\/strong> The area of the restaurant that customers see. Front of house positions include hosts, waiters and bartenders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Back of house:<\/strong> The area of the restaurant that customers don\u2019t see.
