The check becomes the record

A clean commercial prep table and hand sink in morning light

Photograph the open as you found it

Name the album for the restaurant or the shift. The line, the hand sink, and the counters stay on that kitchen for the close and for the owner.

One album per kitchen

Keep the equipment with the shift

The walk-in gasket, the cooler edge, and what you checked belong with the opening photos. The owner sees the equipment on the same album as the line.

Speak the closing note while you are still there

A short voice note at the pass becomes the draft: what was checked, what needs a look tomorrow, and what the owner needs to see. Time and place stay on the photos.

One link for the owner

Opening and closing records for the kitchen and the equipment

A restaurant inspection record in FWDLink starts in the kitchen, not in a shared camera roll. Name the album for the restaurant or the shift. Photograph the line, the hand sink, and the equipment as you found them at open or at close. The owner opens that same place. It follows the album pattern of the property photo app, with the shift record as the thing you send.

Speak a short note while you are still on the line. FWDLink drafts the record from the photos and that note: what you checked, what needs a look, and what the owner needs to see. Mark the spot with photo annotations so the callout stays on the picture. Time and place stay on the shot.

This is the restaurant’s own opening and closing record. A health-department inspection is a separate visit. FWDLink keeps the photos and the notes your team already takes so the owner can see the shift. It does not replace that official inspection.

FWD one gallery from share links. The owner opens it in the browser. Sharing an album is how you turn the link off after they have the shift. Add tomorrow’s open. The link they already opened keeps working.

Equipment notes stay with the kitchen. The walk-in gasket, the fryer at close, and the morning line open on one album, so the next manager sees yesterday before the lights come up.

How a restaurant shift record gets made

  2. 2

    Photograph the check

    Shoot the line, the equipment, and the close as you found them.

  3. 3

    Speak a short note

    Say what you checked. FWDLink drafts the record from the photos and that note.

  4. 4

    FWD the record

    Send one link to the owner. Tomorrow’s open goes on the same kitchen.
