What you'll get
Here's a sample Q&A response from your searchable operations manual:
Example Q&A
Q: "What temp should the walk-in freezer be?"
A: The walk-in freezer must be maintained at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Check and log temperature every 4 hours during operating hours. If temp rises above 10°F, do not accept new deliveries and contact maintenance immediately at 1-800-XXX-XXXX.

Q: "Employee called in sick, what do I do?"
A: For same-day callouts:
- Check if you can cover with current staff (max 10 hrs/person)
- Text the shift swap group (link in break room)
- If no coverage found, call your DM before going below minimum staffing
- Log in ADP: Timekeeper > Exceptions > Unplanned Absence
Note: 3+ unexcused absences in 30 days triggers a coaching conversation (see HR Policy 4.1).

Q: "Customer says they found hair in food"
A: Follow the LAST protocol:
- Listen without interrupting
- Apologize sincerely
- Solve immediately (replace + comp dessert/drink)
- Thank them for telling you
Fill out Incident Report in back office. If customer threatens legal action or social media, escalate to DM immediately—do not offer additional comp.
