Opening and closing checklists, signed.
The Opening Checklist is signed once in the morning. The Closing Checklist unlocks at closing time. In between, the kitchen porter has their own checklist and every person does a hygiene check. Each is signed by the person who did it.

Questions
Good to know.
Can I change what’s on the checklists?
Yes. Daybook sets up your checklists to start with, then the owner can change them, add their own and switch checks on or off.
When does the closing checklist open?
At the closing time you set in Settings. You also set when the PM fridge reading is due.
