Check the handover between workstations
Measure the route from deliveries to cold storage, preparation, cooking and dispatch, then trace dirty returns separately. Assign each appliance its exact size, load and service access on the drawing. Ask the project team to verify that the proposed layout and approvals correspond to the actual activity and premises before ordering, with responsibilities and required documents recorded.
