New Shift Takeover Checklist

A practical new shift takeover checklist for consistent handovers, escalation, and clean close-out actions.
Hospitality operations involve multiple teams contributing to a single guest experience, often under time pressure. Failures typically occur at handovers, during peak periods, or when routines are rushed. Checklists should coordinate housekeeping, room readiness, FOH service preparation, safety checks, and shift transitions. The purpose is to surface issues before they become guest-visible and to align teams around the same operational expectations.
