A facility checklist for shutdown, access, equipment protection, roof entry, security, and post-service handoff.
Use this guide to organize observations and questions before contacting a provider. It is not a diagnosis or a fixed scope of work. Conditions at the location, equipment specifications, safety requirements, local rules, and the provider's inspection can all change the appropriate next step.
Confirm the work window
Allow enough time for shutdown, cooling, protection, cleaning, inspection, cleanup, and restart. Tell the provider when staff or deliveries will still be present.
- Cooking shutdown and cool-down time
- Building entry, alarm, and security arrangements
- Required completion time before prep resumes
Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.
Clear and protect the area
The provider should define what kitchen staff must move and what the cleaning crew will cover. Sensitive food, utensils, and movable equipment should not remain exposed.
- Food and clean-item storage
- Appliance shutdown and movement responsibility
- Floor, wall, and nearby equipment protection
Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.
Arrange roof and utility access
Share safe roof access, fan locations, water sources, drainage restrictions, electrical shutdown procedures, and any facility-specific safety rules.
- Roof hatch, ladder, keys, and fall-hazard information
- Water and wastewater plan
- Fan disconnects and responsible facility contact
