Why Food Service Owners Keep Putting This Off (And Why They Shouldn't)
Our template is specifically designed for food service businesses with customizable sections for your unique needs. It's not generic—it's comprehensive.
I'll Handle It When We Get Bigger
Problem
Legal issues don't wait for you to scale. Employment laws apply to businesses with just one employee, and food safety violations can shut you down regardless of size.
We're Too Busy to Write Policies
Problem
You're busy because you're constantly dealing with the same issues repeatedly. Clear policies actually save time by preventing problems before they start.
Our Team Is Small—Everyone Knows the Rules
Problem
Verbal agreements create legal vulnerabilities. When situations get heated or legal, "everyone knows" becomes "nothing is documented.”
Don't wait until it's too late. Every day without a proper employee handbook is another day of unnecessary risk. Your business is too important to leave to chance.
