What this template helps you manage

What the free hospitality operations template covers.

Cold storage is one of the biggest stock and compliance risks in any venue. This template makes the routine checks consistent and the records defensible.

  • Temperature checks per chiller, per shift
  • Visual inspections and condition checks
  • Door seals, hinges and gaskets
  • Leaks, condensate and drain checks
  • Noise, vibration and airflow checks
  • Cleaning of coils, fans and interiors
  • Recorded faults and follow-up actions
  • Service contractor visits and outcomes
  • Manager review and sign-off

How PublicanOps works

From paper checklist to a live workflow.

Schedule it, assign it, complete it on mobile, and report on what happened. Records can carry into shift reports, manager handovers and asset history where relevant.

  1. 1Step 1

    Schedule

    Linked to the asset

    PublicanOps links each chiller or fridge to its asset record — every check, fault and service visit attaches automatically.

  2. 2Step 2

    Assign

    Triggered follow-up

    Failed temperature readings or recorded faults trigger an immediate follow-up task to the duty manager.

  3. 3Step 3

    Complete

    Scheduled by shift

    Checks are scheduled per asset, per shift, with tolerances set per unit.

  4. 4Step 4

    Report

    Audit-ready records

    Records export cleanly for food safety audits, insurance claims and contractor accountability.

Completed records flow straight into venue reports, manager handovers and — for maintenance and asset checks — your asset history, so nothing has to be re-keyed.
