Restaurant Operations Manual

A neatly structured, ready-to-use operations manual on Notion built for busy restaurateurs who want a clean, organized, and easy-to-navigate, go-to knowledge hub for their business and team.

✨ Your Operations Manual is a one-stop shop for documenting how your restaurant runs. It includes your SOPs, workflows, guidelines, checklists, templates, best practices... It tells your employees: "This is how we do things here".

Think of it as your "business playbook".

✔️ For you if:

• Your systems currently live in your head, and you don't know how to extract or organize them
• Your business know-how is scattered across disconnected and/or outdated Word documents or random Google Drive folders
• You or your team constantly get lost while searching for SOPs, documents, or key information
• You want to delegate more, but your systems aren't documented clearly enough to let go.

✔️ Built with a function-first design in Notion: easy to use, clean, no-code, and no design skills needed.

✔️ One-time fee, lifetime access—no ongoing subscriptions or monthly “SOP storage fees” for overpriced software.
