Questions

Common questions

What should be on a cafe cleaning schedule?

A good schedule splits jobs by how often they're needed: daily (surfaces, sinks, floors, coffee machine), weekly (descaling, deep-cleaning fridges, behind equipment) and monthly (defrosting freezers, drainage, ventilation). This template lays all three out with space to record what was used and who did it.

How often should a commercial kitchen be cleaned?

Food-contact surfaces and high-use areas need cleaning and sanitising through the day and at close; equipment and harder-to-reach areas are usually weekly; deep cleans are monthly or as needed. The schedule groups tasks by that rhythm.

Is the cleaning schedule free?

Yes — print it and use it at no cost. If clearing the wall of paper appeals, ProCafe turns a cleaning schedule into recurring tasks on your team's phones, with photo evidence and a record of who cleaned what and when. Free for 14 days, no card required.

Do I need to keep records of cleaning?

Keeping a cleaning record is good practice and helps demonstrate due diligence at an inspection. Paper schedules work if they're filled in; ProCafe keeps the record automatically, with time stamps and optional photos.
