What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a written training library for your department — a new hire checklist, a product rotation guide, a food safety quick reference, and a department expectations document — that you can use with every new employee from now on. This replaces the verbal training that gets forgotten and reduces the time you spend answering the same questions over and over.

- 45–60 minutes for initial creation (this is a one-time investment)
- Access to a printer
