Prep, handover and closing routines for independent cafés. Lighthouse Café explores the quiet systems behind a smooth shift.
The problem to solve
The next shift needs to know what changed: a low stock item, a faulty grinder or an unfinished prep task.
The proposed approach
Use a short handover organised around service readiness. Carry open issues forward rather than rewriting the whole shift log.
Working with the example
07:00
The sample records “Grinder calibration” as context and “Opening” as its state. In a real café operations process, the source and responsible role should be checked before acting on that state.
10:30
The sample records “Milk delivery” as context and “Stock check” as its state. In a real café operations process, the source and responsible role should be checked before acting on that state.
17:00
The sample records “Machine clean” as context and “Closing” as its state. In a real café operations process, the source and responsible role should be checked before acting on that state.
