Where is the sidework/running checklist located?

• A. On the West side of the kitchen, when you come around the corner.
• B. On the East side of the kitchen, when you come around the corner.
• C. In the office.
• D. In the dining room.

Answer: (A)

The sidework and running checklist is placed right where you enter the kitchen flow, so you can see and grab it without detouring. It’s on the West side of the kitchen, when you come around the corner, which keeps the document in your line of travel and close to the prep area so tasks can be checked off as you start or loop through sidework. This setup supports quick reference during a busy shift and helps maintain a smooth, organized routine.

Choosing the East side would disrupt the preferred sightline and movement pattern, while putting the checklist in the office or in the dining room takes it away from the actual kitchen workflow and responsibilities.
