Bagging Training Checklist
The checklist (12 items)
Written as observable actions, so two trainers scoring the same shift land in the same place. In CrewSharp this is the Bagging checklist in the Restaurant / QSR starter set, filed under Front of House, and every item here is editable.
- 1Assembled each bag against the order screenMust pass
- 2Bagged hot and cold items separately
- 3Put the heaviest items at the bottom of the bag
- 4Added the right sauces for the order
- 5Added napkins and utensils to match the order size
- 6Used a drink carrier for two or more drinks
- 7Stuck the order label on the outside of the bag
- 8Folded the bag closed before passing it on
- 9Double-checked the bag before marking the order done
- 10Bumped orders off the screen only once they were complete
- 11Restocked bags and carriers before they ran out
- 12Kept pace with the screen during the rush

What usually goes wrong
Building the bag against the screen is the whole job. Someone who knows the common orders starts working from memory during a rush, and that is exactly when the unusual order goes out wrong.
When to sign someone off
A workable bar for this checklist: no critical items missed, a score above a line you set for Bagging specifically rather than one number for the whole building, and observed on more than one shift with at least one of them busy. Then date it, so it can expire.
That last part is the one people skip. A sign-off with no date cannot be re-checked, which means a year later you have a record that says somebody was ready once.
Checklists that pair with this one
Someone trained on this one most often covers these alongside it, which makes them the sensible second checklist to train.
Common questions
Is bagging a good first position?
It is one of the best. The standard is easy to see, mistakes are caught right away, and it sits between drinks and the window, so a new person learns the rhythm of the floor while doing something useful.
What should be on a bagging checklist?
The 12 items above cover it: assembled each bag against the order screen, bagged hot and cold items separately, put the heaviest items at the bottom of the bag, and the rest of the list. Keep it in that range. Fewer and a pass proves very little; many more and trainers stop finishing it during a real shift.
Does this checklist need critical items?
Not every checklist has one. Where nothing on the list carries a safety or legal consequence, a passing score plus observation across more than one shift is a reasonable bar on its own. Marking items critical when they are not just makes the flag mean less everywhere else.
Scoring it is the part that lasts
Run this Bagging checklist on a tablet between rushes and CrewSharp keeps the rest: who is signed off, when it was last checked, and which item your crew misses most.
