Who is this assistant for?

You end the day wrecked and cannot say what you decided. Your leads sign the checklists and the problems keep coming back. You look at the day's sales and cannot tell if it went well. You step onto the grill at the peak and the day gets spent operating.

The manager ends the day exhausted and unable to say what he decided. This assistant separates his job from what the station already signs: it does not check fridges or portion weights, it checks the people who check, and it forces every NO on somebody else's sheet to carry an action closed inside 24 hours. The day's numbers always arrive with their comparison, because sales without the same weekday last week beside them send nobody to do anything. And the day does not close with a summary: it closes with three decisions that have an owner and a date.

Operational Checklist Builder for Restaurants

Pick the area above, the moment in the shift and how often it runs, and the assistant writes THAT checklist: the list that gets ticked with a pen at close, with its owner per line, the standard that defines «done», and what happens when something is not met. One builder for twelve areas and three periods instead of one card per combination.

What it does and what you get

The manager ends the day exhausted and unable to say what he decided.
This assistant separates his job from what the station already signs: it does not check fridges or portion weights, it checks the people who check, and it forces every NO on somebody else's sheet to carry an action closed inside 24 hours.
The day's numbers always arrive with their comparison, because sales without the same weekday last week beside them send nobody to do anything.
And the day does not close with a summary: it closes with three decisions that have an owner and a date.

What you end up with

Five chained blocks: the day's header with its target, the cross-check table of other people's checklists, the numbers table against the same weekday last week, the people table with today's conversations, and the three signed decisions with their boundary matrix.

Sample result

Sazón de OrigenFictional contemporary Colombian restaurant in Medellín, 2 locations, 6 years in business. Every sample result in the library comes from this same case. Fictional restaurant

The owner asked this: "I have two locations and 24 people. My head chef and my floor manager sign their checklists every day, but I end up putting out fires and cannot say what I decided. I need the manager's checklist for Tuesday lunch."

Tuesday 26 August · Laureles location · Manager on duty: you · Day target: 3,900,000 COP

Tuesday-to-Friday lunch is the slot that holds this house up, so the checklist clock hangs from the 12:00 to 14:30 peak and not from opening time. The four phases fit into 70 minutes of your working day; the rest of the day you direct, you do not fill in paper.

Phase	Hour	What you do	What does NOT belong here
Before service	11:15 (45 minutes ahead)	Read Monday's signed checklists, count the shift's hands against the 9 people Tuesday asks for and confirm the day's target	Temperatures, portion weight and portioning: the head chef signs those
During the peak	12:00 to 14:30	Watch from the door, log turned-away tables with the hour and the exact hour each dish sold out	Do not step onto the grill or the pass, and do not answer the delivery phone
After the peak	14:30 to 15:00 (30 minutes)	Take partial sales, covers served, average check and voided dockets while memory is fresh	Do not wait for close to write it: by 21:30 nobody remembers the hour
Close	21:30 (15 minutes)	Sign the day's three decisions with owner, date and closing figure	Do not leave a single row on "to be reviewed"

The second location runs the same form with the clock moved 30 minutes, because its peak starts at 12:30. Operating figures built from the data you gave, illustrative until you check them against your POS.

Three other people's checklists come into this board. None of them is the manager's: somebody else signs all three, and your job is to read what was done with each NO, not to repeat the inspection.

Checklist	Who signs	Arrived	NO finding	Action, owner and hour
Kitchen opening	Head chef	Yes, 10:40	Garlic trout prepped at 22 portions and last Tuesday 26 were sold	Raise to 30 portions from next Tuesday · Head chef · logged 11:20
Floor opening	Floor manager	Yes, 11:05	Two terrace tables unset for lack of clean linen	Linen to the laundry today 16:00 · Floor manager · closed 16:20
Monday till count	Shift cashier	Did not arrive	—	Asked at 11:30, arrived 15:40 with a 12,000 COP shortfall · Cashier · signature pending

Two of three closed inside 24 hours. The till count that came in late is the one that matters: it is not a late piece of paper, it is a till left unreconciled through four hours of service, and the shortfall only surfaced once the shift had already gone home. House rule applied here: a signature with no facts is worse than a blank box, because it reassures. The kitchen opening checklist arrived signed at 100 % and the star dish still sold out at 13:10, so the signature held and the production count was wrong: that is exactly the finding a manager sees and a station does not. Neither of those two lines is a kitchen failure; both are a planning failure that only the manager's desk can fix.

Every row is read against the same Tuesday last week. A number on its own sends nobody to do anything.

Indicator	Today	Last Tuesday	Deviation	Reading
Day sales	3,650,400 COP	3,912,300 COP	−261,900 COP (−6.7 %)	Under the 3,900,000 COP target
Covers served	78	81	−3	Three chairs, not a demand drop
Average check	46,800 COP	48,300 COP	−1,500 COP (−3.1 %)	Below the house's 48,000 COP
Sold-out dishes	2 (13:10 and 13:40)	0	+2	Garlic trout and three-meat sancocho
Turned-away tables	4 (12:40 to 13:20)	1	+3	About 9 covers unserved: 421,200 COP
Cancelled orders	3 on the delivery platform	1	+2	Waits over 45 minutes: 156,000 COP

Visible leak for the day: 577,200 COP, more than the 261,900 COP missing against last Tuesday. Sales did not fall for lack of guests: they fell because the house could not serve the guests who came, and that is a capacity problem, not a demand problem. The check dropped because the two sold-out dishes were the highest priced on the menu and whoever arrived late ate the 34,000 COP option. Menu note: garlic trout sells at 42,000 COP with a 14,700 COP cost, a 35 % food cost, above the 34 % menu average and above the 32 % ceiling for promoting it; there the problem is not the offer, it is the menu price. Illustrative figures from the data you supplied, to be checked against your own POS.

Illustrative example generated with a fictional restaurant. Not a promise of results, not a client case.

This is 3 of 5 parts. Behind the wall sit the two parts only the manager can sign. The people block: one row for everyone who moved the day, with the columns Person, News, Who covers and Pending conversation, the exact hour of each conversation booked for today and the extra labour cost of the cover counted in pesos and added to the month's labour cost. And the three-decision block, with Decision, Owner, Date and the figure that closes it at 14 days, the boundary matrix listing the three things this checklist does not review and the role that does sign them, and the minute-by-minute script for the 15-minute meeting at 11:15, with the speaking order and the rule for a day with no decisions.

Works with these AIs

Claude — the best for this assistant The best fit here: it holds the line between what the manager reviews and what the station signs, and does not drift into listing temperatures when you narrate the day.

How to use it

Fill in My Restaurant with your team, your peak slots and your channels: the checklist is born on YOUR operation's clock.

Pick what you need on the card —which area (kitchen, service, bar, the register…)— and the assistant reframes itself: you don't need another prompt.

Copy the whole assistant into the AI you trust, along with the day's sales target.

Tell it which checklists other people sign today —kitchen, floor, till— and answer its questions one at a time.

Print the checklist on half a page and fill it across the four phases, not at night and from memory.

Which of your data it uses

of 23

This assistant works with 11 of the 23 fields in «My Restaurant», among them Restaurant name, Business type and Number of locations. It does not ask out of curiosity: these are what make the answer speak about YOUR scale instead of an industry average — the same calculation on a business of another size returns a number you cannot decide with. You fill them once and they apply across the library, so the second assistant you open already starts with them in place. Whatever you leave blank, the assistant asks for one thing at a time instead of inventing it, and says so before answering, so you know what it is working from.
