The Cafe SOP Pack (Opening, Closing, Maintenance, Handoff)

Post these four pages and your bar runs the same on your day off as it does when you are standing behind it.

Who this is for: owners and managers of a working coffee bar where more than one person touches the machine. Who it is not for: home baristas; the free home maintenance calendar covers a single-machine kitchen counter and costs nothing.

What is in the pack, 4 letter-size, laminate-ready pages:

• Opening checklist with a signed dial-in log, so recipe accountability survives shift changes
• Closing checklist with a waste log
• Espresso machine maintenance SOP with cadences from every-drink to quarterly, owners assigned, and a symptom escalation table
• Shift handoff sheet that ends "nobody told me"

The math: a cafe consultant typically bills more than $39 for a single hour, and leaves without laminated checklists. This is $39 once, written by baristas, built to survive a rush. Delivered by email within 24 hours of purchase.

If it is not useful, reply to your receipt and we refund it, no forms.

Or get everything: this is one of the 21 products included in Barista Life Pro (Annual), all 21 digital products plus a year of new releases, $49 per year.

Goes well with: the Cafe Health Check and the Machine Maintenance Calendar. Related reading: the Coffee Shop Maintenance Log Guide.
