Stop explaining the same thing for the 50th time. Print these, post them, and let the systems do the work.
Every time you answer the same question twice, your restaurant has a systems problem. Every time quality drops when you're not in the building, your restaurant has a documentation problem. Every time a new hire gets "trained" by following someone around for 2 shifts, your restaurant has an onboarding problem.
SOPs fix all 3. The problem is nobody has time to write them.
So I wrote them for you. 20 Standard Operating Procedures covering every critical process in your restaurant, from kitchen opening to end-of-month financials. Each one is 1 page, with numbered steps, written at a level a brand-new employee can follow on their first day.
What's in this pack:
Kitchen Operations (7 SOPs)
Kitchen Opening Procedures. Kitchen Closing Procedures. Receiving a Food Delivery. Food Safety Temperature Monitoring. Prep Production and Portioning. Deep Cleaning Schedule (Weekly). Waste Tracking and Reduction.
Front of House (6 SOPs)
FOH Opening Procedures. FOH Closing Procedures. Shift Change Handoff. Guest Complaint Handling. Table Turn Optimization. Server Upselling Standards.
Management & Operations (7 SOPs)
Daily Team Huddle (15 Minutes). Weekly Inventory Spot Check. New Employee Onboarding (Day 1). Cash Handling and Reconciliation. Weekly Manager Briefing. Scheduling and Labor Management. End of Month Financial Review.
Every SOP includes:
A header block with role, frequency, and approval line to make ownership clear. Numbered steps your team can follow without asking you for clarification. A "Common Mistakes to Avoid" section that prevents the errors you're tired of correcting. A signature and date line that creates accountability on every shift.
2 formats included:
Editable Word documents so you can customize every SOP for your specific operation. Print-ready PDFs you can post in the kitchen, at the host stand, and behind the bar today.
Who this is for:
Restaurant owners who are tired of being the only person who knows how things work. Managers who want to train new hires without starting from scratch every time. Operators who know that the difference between a 75 hour week and a 45 hour week is documentation.
FORMAT: 20 Word files + 20 PDFs. Download, customize, print, done.
PRO TIP: print these on TerraSlate waterproof and rip-proof paper so they survive the kitchen.
