Fall is here, and it’s the perfect time for restaurants to roll up their sleeves and do a thorough fall cleaning routine. As the leaves change and the air becomes crisper, it’s essential to prepare your establishment for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons. By investing some extra effort now, you’ll ensure your restaurant is cozy, inviting, and ready to welcome guests throughout the holidays.
Outdoor and Entrance Area
- Clean Outdoor Dining Areas- As temperatures drop, patrons may still enjoy outdoor dining. Ensure outdoor seating areas are clean, free of debris, and have comfortable seating.
- Check and Clean Exterior Signage- Clean and maintain your restaurant’s signage to ensure it’s welcoming and easy to read.
- Inspect and Clean Entranceways- First impressions matter. Clean entranceways, including windows, doors, and doormats, to create a welcoming atmosphere.
- Service Outdoor Heaters- An important part of the fall cleaning checklist, check your heaters. If you offer outdoor heating options, service and clean them to keep guests warm and comfortable.
Dining Area and Bar
- Deep-Clean Dining Furniture- Clean and polish tables, chairs, and booth seating to provide a fresh and appealing dining experience.
- Inspect and Clean Light Fixtures- Brighten up your restaurant by cleaning and checking all light fixtures.
- Clean and Test Heating Systems- Ensure that your heating systems are functioning correctly and provide a cozy ambiance for diners.
- Inspect and Clean Ceiling Fans- Clean ceiling fans and adjust their settings for optimal air circulation.
- Check and Clean Artwork and Decor- Dust and clean wall art, decor, and shelving to maintain an inviting ambiance.
Kitchen and Food Prep Areas
- Deep-Clean Kitchen Appliances- Clean ovens, stovetops, grills, and fryers to ensure they’re in top working condition.
- Inspect and Service HVAC Systems- Maintain a comfortable kitchen environment by servicing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
- Clean and Organize Walk-In Refrigerators and Freezers- Discard expired items, organize shelves, and clean storage areas for optimal food safety.
- Inspect and Clean Exhaust Hoods– Keep your kitchen’s exhaust hoods clean to maintain air quality and safety. Exhaust fans and vents can become home to airborne contaminants, so we include this in our fall cleaning checklist.
Restrooms
- Thoroughly Clean Restrooms- Pay extra attention to restrooms, ensuring they’re clean, stocked with essentials, and free from unpleasant odors.
Bar and Beverage Stations
- Clean and Inspect Bar Equipment- Clean and inspect bar equipment, including glassware, taps, and refrigeration units, to maintain quality service.
Storage Areas
- Organize and Inventory Supplies– Take stock of your restaurant’s supplies, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the upcoming season.
- Dispose of Unused Items- Much like spring cleaning, disposing items is part of our fall cleaning routine. This is necessary especially since temperatures are dropping and molds are growing. Declutter storage areas by disposing of items that are no longer needed.
