Restroom cleaning log signed every round during service.
A 12-point check that runs at least every two hours: toilets, handwashing facilities, dispensers, floors, and touch points. The cleaner initials each round and the manager signs off. Print it, post it on the back of the restroom door, and keep the record a complaint investigation asks for.
What is on the checklist
A short header filled at the start of each round, then 12 items marked Yes, No, or N/A. Repeat at least every two hours during service, more often when it is busy.

Free, letter size, one page. A header for each round, the 12-item Yes / No / N/A checklist, a notes line, and a manager sign-off at the bottom.
Every restroom is different. This log is a general starting point, not a one-size-fits-all rule. Cleaning frequency and requirements change with your traffic, your layout, and your local health unit's rules. Review it and adapt it to your operation before you rely on it. Probe It Food Safety provides this resource for general guidance only.

People think the restroom is a side issue, but it is one of the first things I look at, and it is the one customers judge you on. The handwashing facilities are the real food-safety point. If the sink is out of soap, your staff cannot wash their hands properly, and that ends up in the kitchen. A sheet on the back of the door with a name and time against each round tells me the cleaning is happening, not just claimed.

How often should restrooms be checked?
At least every two hours during service, which is what the sheet is built around. Check more often during busy periods, after a rush, or when the restroom sees heavy use. The point is a regular, recorded round, not one clean at the end of the night.
Why log restroom cleaning at all?
Two reasons. The restroom is what customers judge your hygiene on, and a complaint often starts there. And handwashing facilities must stay operational, since staff who cannot wash their hands properly carry that straight into the kitchen. A signed log is the record that the round was actually done.
Who fills it in and signs it?
The person doing the round marks the 12 items and initials the time. The manager reviews the sheet and signs off at the bottom. Splitting it that way means the cleaning is recorded as it happens and reviewed by someone accountable for it.
How long should I keep the logs?
Keep them with your other operational records. Retention varies by province and by your own policies, so confirm the period that applies to you, and file them somewhere easy to pull if a complaint or inspection comes up.
