A four-field worksheet you can reuse
Record the cause, usable quantity, shift and proposed prevention. Keep product or lot identity with the evidence; avoid blaming a person for a system problem.
Cause: [short reason] Quantity: [amount + usable unit] Moment: [date, time and shift] Prevention: [one proposal, owner and check time]
Fictional lunch-shift example
| Cause | Quantity | Moment | Prevention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prepared salsa exceeded the approved holding window; lot S-02 | 1.2 kg discarded; weigh record attached | 2 October, 14:30, lunch shift | Prep lead proposes a smaller first batch; manager reviews next day at 11:00 |
The holding window belongs to the restaurant's approved procedure. The example gives no universal shelf life and no permission to serve doubtful food.
One next-day decision
Compare actual lunch demand with the prepared quantity and approve or reject the smaller batch. Keep the decision, owner and next check with the original weigh record. Check the following shift's remaining quantity before calling the change successful.
Practice with the current workspace
Wobistro Studio can help organize supplied notes and draft a worksheet in a private project. You upload the evidence and approve the operational decision; it does not automatically read a POS, send staff instructions or discard stock.
