# Morning Opening

## When to use

- Start of the operating day (typically 5:00-5:30 AM local).
- Reopening after an unplanned closure (power outage, repair).
- Pop-up event opening at a non-standard location.

## Core procedure

1. **Unlock and disarm.** Enter, disable alarm, turn on house lights. Visual sweep for overnight issues.
2. **Equipment startup sequence.** Power on in the documented order (see reference) — espresso machine first (long warmup), then grinders, then brewers.
3. **Milk and inventory check.** Verify dairy temps, par-stock for the morning rush, pull frozen pastries to thaw.
4. **Cash drawer prep.** Count starting float, verify against expected, sign the log.
5. **Staff brief.** Assign positions, share today's specials, surface any 86'd items.
6. **Pre-open quality check.** Pull a calibration shot, taste, adjust grind if needed. Wipe surfaces.
7. **Open doors.** Flip the sign, unlock the front, emit opening signal.

## Guardrails to respect

- `company.handwashing_30min` — staff wash before any food handling
- Food safety: temp logs must be recorded before service
- No service if espresso machine fails calibration — brew-only until repair
