SHARED KITCHEN POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Run your kitchen at its best.
Are you prepared for a disaster in your shared kitchen? With the Shared Kitchen Operations Manual, you’ll avoid health department violations, lawsuits, mismanagement, and whatever else could come up. It’s the most comprehensive set of policies and procedures out there - based on the most successful shared kitchens in the industry.
Focus on growing your business. Not writing policies.
Creating your own policy and procedure documentation from scratch is like cooking Thanksgiving dinner without a meat thermometer. Don’t waste countless hours, searching the internet, hiring a consultant or using templates from unrelated industries. And after all that, how do you know you haven’t overlooked anything?
Be prepared for the issues that WILL come up.
Giving employees and members clear expectations not only builds a trusted culture, but it can also prevent:
Health Department Violations
Kitchen Downtime
Members Abusing the Space
Bad Press Coverage
Foodborne Illness Outbreak
Members Leaving Your Kitchen
Not to mention the other problems you might not have thought about yet. But don’t worry. We’ve got you covered!
Run your business like a seasoned pro, even if this is your first shared kitchen.
The Shared Kitchen Operations Manual will help you…
Easily Stay Compliant
Define clear hourly, daily, weekly and monthly tasks for your members and employees - all customizable to your space. With the Operations Manual, you know you’ll stay compliant.
Make Sure They're Ready
Ensure your members and employees are trained on how to handle any situation that comes up. They’ll know exactly what to do about: pest sightings, storage violations, chemical handling, smallwares usage, reordering supplies, and more.
Get Them Up & Running. Fast.
Establish everyone’s roles and responsibilities in the kitchen. You’ll clearly inform them how to book the kitchen, extend shifts, pay their bills, and more.
Ensure It Gets Done
The Shared Kitchen Operations Manual includes 16 logs and forms you’ll need in order to make sure your policies are actually being followed.
When we clearly set expectations for our members and staff, our Operations Manual saved us a ton of time, allowing us to focus on creating real value for our community.
Eric Holstein, Fork Food Lab
