Questions to ask before accepting the record

  • Can the current manager retrieve the last service set quickly?
  • Are original photos preserved rather than only screenshots?
  • Can every service label be matched to its supporting files?
  • Are unresolved access or repair items tracked to completion?
  • Has the restaurant confirmed current expectations with its authority, insurer, and property manager where applicable?
