Sandwich Assembly Training Checklist
The checklist (13 items)
Written as observable actions, so two trainers scoring the same shift land in the same place. In CrewSharp this is the Sandwich Assembly checklist in the Restaurant / QSR starter set, filed under Back of House, and every item here is editable.

What usually goes wrong
Changing gloves and wiping the board before an allergy order is the critical item. It costs twenty seconds in the middle of a rush, which is exactly why it gets skipped without a scored check behind it.
The items a good total should not outweigh
- Changed gloves and wiped the board before an allergy order
- Changed gloves after touching raw product or trash
When to sign someone off
A workable bar for this checklist: no critical items missed, a score above a line you set for Sandwich Assembly 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
Should assembly and grill be trained as one checklist?
Train them separately and pair them on quiet shifts. They need different habits, and a combined sign-off hides the person who can cook but cannot build, or the reverse.
What should be on a sandwich assembly checklist?
The 13 items above cover it: built each sandwich to the build card, toasted buns for the set time, placed toppings in the standard order, 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.
Which items should count as critical?
On this checklist, 2 items are marked critical: changed gloves and wiped the board before an allergy order; changed gloves after touching raw product or trash. Missing one means not ready, regardless of the total score, because these are the failures that cannot be corrected after the fact.
Scoring it is the part that lasts
Run this Sandwich Assembly 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.
