What You’ll Do

  • Lead the end-to-end creation of an organized SOP + recipe documentation system (structure, templates, naming, versioning, approvals).

  • Ensure documents are simple, visual, and operational (quick-read formats, flowcharts, photos, check boxes).

  • Maintain a review cycle keep content current as menus/processes change; manage revisions and distribution so outlets always have the latest version.

  • Support Training by converting SOPs into LMS-ready content (micro-lessons, assessments, sign-offs).

  • Bonus: Canva/Figma/Lucidchart, Notion/Confluence, LMS tools (or similar).

  • Hands-on, collaborative, and able to push work forward independently.
