Advise emergency services of potential brake fire.
Burn or dump fuel down to minimum reserve plus enough for a second go just in case first go is untidy.
Complete appropriate checklist and fly appropriate speed for weight. Going below Vref for config invites a tail strike, so don’t do that!
Fly stable approach to touch down, do not accept float, a firm landing on the spot is what you want.
Land and throw everything at stopping - spoilers, brakes, reverse.
Exit runway if possible, but do not taxi to the ramp.
Complete hot brakes checklist.
Think aloud throughout - for the benefit of the tape.
Complete paperwork as to why you did not have the full performance ‘buffers’.
Tech Log entry to change brakes, wheels, tyres or whatever MOM calls for. Maintenance will want touch down groundspeed and rate of descent, so it is helpful if the FO can make a mental note of these. If not, give them PIDOOMA. or they can probably access it via QAR.

Been there and done it twice; both occasions the runway was limiting. One tyre fuse plug blew on one occasion, but only after we stopped.
