What are SOPs?

SOPs are lists of rules, standards and norms, jotted down, that entail the procedures involved in completing a specific function or task. When SOPs are properly set for all the tasks to be performed by each and every staff member (front or back operations), the staff can perform their jobs more professionally, efficiently and safely, no matter how busy or lean a restaurant is, at any particular time. Any establishment, small or big, will always benefit from implementable and practical SOPs.

SOPs include specific details of how a policy will be implemented including (a) who will perform the task (b) what materials are needed, (c) when will the task be done, (d) where will the task be done, (e) how will the task be performed.
