Which procedure is NOT a part of the Front of the House closing procedures?

• A. Deposit cash directly into top safe
• B. Clean and restock drive through
• C. Close register 2
• D. Wipe down tables and chairs in lobby

Answer: (A)

The procedure of depositing cash directly into the top safe is typically associated with cash handling and financial management, which is more relevant to back-of-house tasks rather than front-of-house closing procedures. Front-of-house closing procedures primarily focus on ensuring the dining and service areas are clean, restocked, and properly maintained for the next service period.

In contrast, cleaning and restocking the drive-through, closing registers, and wiping down tables and chairs are all essential tasks that ensure a welcoming environment for customers and prepare the establishment for the following business day. These tasks directly contribute to the overall customer experience and the operational readiness of the front-of-house staff. Therefore, cash handling tasks like depositing cash are not suitable for categorizing as front-of-house responsibilities.
