About This Digital Template

Everything Your Bar Needs to Open and Close Right.

Two checklists to keep every open and every close consistent. Print them, laminate them, put them on the bar. Nothing gets missed, and no one has to text you at 6am asking what comes next.

You get an opening checklist and a closing checklist — grouped by work zone, with columns for each day of the week so you can see at a glance what's done and what's not. Fully editable in Canva, so you can rebrand it, restructure it, delete tasks you don't do, and print it. A ready-to-use PDF is included too.

Save yourself the setup.

  • Weekly deep-clean rotation, split into 15-minute chunks

What Cafe Owners Say

Reviews From the Bar.

★★★★★
Bought it, edited the logo, printed it, done. Twenty minutes from checkout to a laminated checklist on the bar. My openers actually follow it.

Owner, Little Salt Coffee · Halifax
★★★★★
Better than anything I've built from scratch in five years of running the shop. The weekly deep clean rotation alone was worth the price.

Manager, Ridgeline Cafe · Kelowna
★★★★★
I trained two new baristas last week using just this checklist. They opened the bar solo on day three. That's the ROI.

Common Questions

Good to Know.

How do I get the download after purchase?
The download link lands on the checkout confirmation page and in your receipt email, seconds after payment. Save the email so you can come back to the file anytime, from any device.
Can I edit and customize it?
Yes. The Canva (free account) version is fully editable. Swap the logo, change the colours, reword the content, add your own. If you don't have a Canva (free account) account, it's free to make one and open the file in seconds.
What license comes with it?
For your cafe's own use. If you need a different license, multi-location, agency use, or resale, email us at hello@timberline.coffee and we'll let you know what's possible.
Do I get future updates?
Yes. When we improve the template, you get access to the new version at no charge. The same download link stays valid.
What if it isn't right for me?
Reply to your order email within 7 days and tell us what's off. We'll either fix it, help you make it work, or refund your money. We'd rather have you happy than hold onto twelve bucks.
