Why SOPs Are the Most Underrated Tool in Foodservice

Clear SOPs reduce waste, improve consistency, and strengthen training — yet most restaurants don’t use them correctly.

SOPs get a bad reputation.
People think they’re corporate.
Robotic.
Boring.

But the truth?
SOPs protect you from chaos.

Good SOPs:

• Save money

• Reduce training time

• Improve consistency

• Create accountability

• Reduce staff frustration

• Improve guest satisfaction

The Problem

Most restaurants have SOPs — but nobody actually follows them.

Final Thought

SOPs don’t slow you down.
They keep you from falling apart.
