Develop contingency plans for supply chain disruptions and unexpected surges in customer traffic.

Maintain detailed checklists for food handling, cleaning, and maintenance procedures.

Employee Training & Safety

Provide ongoing training in food safety, equipment use, and emergency procedures.

Enforce proper attire (non-slip shoes, gloves, etc.) and safe kitchen practices.

Implement a clear protocol for reporting hazards and incidents.

Legal & Regulatory Compliance

Stay updated on labor laws, health codes, and licensing requirements.

Maintain accurate documentation for employee hours, wages, and safety training.

Ensure ADA compliance and proper signage.
