From construction to opening: work list
A 62-item work plan: from wiring to fire safety (FHN), from the trial opening to the official opening — every step in order.
What does this tool do? Helps you do construction and fit-out work in the right order and catch expensive mistakes early.
How it works
- Open a stage: «Preparation», «Rough work», «Finishing»… For example, you are turning a 70 m² unit in Nasimi into a restaurant.
- Tick finished work and add a short note or photo: «3-phase power — checked by Azerishig, 12 October».
- On the right you see what is left in each stage. Ticks are kept in this browser; «Clear» removes them and «Undo» works for 8 seconds.
Work list by stage
The menu defines the equipment, and the equipment defines electricity, water and gas needs. Don't commission a floor plan without this document.
Photograph the facade from across the street by day and by night: does the venue stand out, is the entrance clear, can you see inside?
Draw the route from the door to the table, till, restroom and exit on the plan. Guests should find it without signs.
Receiving → inspection → storage → prep → cooking → pass → service. The flow must not double back or cross the guest entrance.
Dirty dishes enter on one side, clean ones leave on the other. The dishwashing area runs in one direction.
Trace the route of one cook, one server and one guest on the architect's sketch. If the lines cross, don't move on to construction drawings.
How many orders per hour can the kitchen, bar, pass and dishwashing handle at peak? The weakest point sets the speed of the whole restaurant.
Separate spots for solo guests, couples, groups, families and business meetings. Identical four-tops leave the room half empty.
A step-free wheelchair route from the entrance to the table and restroom, and a clear, marked evacuation route — in the plan from day one.
Record 10 timings: order to table, bill to payment, table reset. Without numbers, a trial opening is just a rehearsal.
Budget planning
Example: rough split for a 50–80 m², 30–40 seat restaurant. The figures are only a guide — check them against your builders’ quotes.
