Salaried Manager Breaks SOP

← Back to all SOPs

Procedure #: HB SOP 1

Function: Management Policies

Implementation Date: 030222

Policy & Purpose:  This policy is intended to ensure all salaried managers receive the same amount of time to take a meal break each shift.  In particular, this policy applies to Kitchen Managers, Assistant General Managers, and General Managers.  All salaried managers in an operation are allowed to take a 30 minute meal break per shift.  These breaks should occur during administrative hours, either before 11am, between 2pm and 5pm, or after 7pm, so long as business levels allow. The guest experience and staffing levels should be considered first before taking a break, regardless of the time, and these breaks should be communicated to leadership in the building so that the appropriate managers and shifts leaders can help assist during their absence.
