Can I add more sections?

Yes — separate sections with a blank line in the textarea. Order is preserved.

How long should each section be?

Convention is 1-3 paragraphs per section. Concise wins; staff actually read short sections.

WELCOME
Welcome to our team! This handbook outlines the policies and expectations that help us deliver outstanding service together.

FOOD SAFETY
All food-handling staff must complete ServSafe certification within 30 days of hire. Wash hands every 20 minutes minimum and after every task transition. Report any cuts, illness, or food spoilage to a manager immediately.

DRESS CODE
Clean, ironed black slacks or skirt; non-slip black closed-toe shoes; black or white branded shirt provided by us. Long hair tied back. No visible tattoos on neck or face per local code.

SCHEDULING
Schedules post Sunday for the following week. Shift trades require manager approval. Three no-call-no-shows in a year is grounds for termination.

TIPS POLICY
All tips are pooled and distributed by hours worked at the end of each shift. Cash tips must be declared. We do not deduct credit-card processing fees from tip pool.

HARASSMENT & SAFETY
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind. Report concerns to a manager or via our anonymous hotline. Retaliation for good-faith reports is itself prohibited.

How does the Restaurant Employee Handbook work?

Generate a printable restaurant employee handbook PDF — cover page, section content (default sections: welcome / food safety / dress code / scheduling / tips policy / harassment), and an optional acknowledgement-signature page. Each section is delimited by blank lines in the input; the first line of each block is the section heading. Customise the default content to your restaurant, run the tool, print copies for each new hire. Doesn't replace the legal review every employee handbook needs — but gets you to a draft fast.

Frequently asked

No — defaults are starting language. Federal law (FLSA tip pooling, Title VII), state law (sick leave, scheduling rules, tip-credit regulations), and local ordinances all vary. Have an employment lawyer review.
