SOPs for Strathfield businesses
Strathfield has a lot of casual and part-time staff: student tutors, weekend kitchen hands, front-of-house workers who may speak different languages. When the process lives in an owner's head, standards vary between shifts and training takes weeks. Restaurants need opening, closing, food-safety and ordering checklists. Tutoring centres need enrolment, session and parent-communication steps. Offices need intake, filing and handover procedures. We observe the real work, write short procedures, add photos or short videos so language is less of a barrier, and have a new starter test them. The aim is a business that keeps its standard when the owner is away.
The business runs on what one or two people know. New staff take months to get up to speed, tasks get done differently each time and a sick day causes real problems.

SOPs in Strathfield: questions
Can SOPs be written for staff who speak different first languages?
Yes. We use short steps, photos and short videos, and can prepare key checklists in more than one language. A native speaker should check translations before they go to staff.
Which restaurant processes should we document first?
Start with opening and closing, food-safety checks and how orders move from the counter to the kitchen. Those cause the most trouble when a new person covers a shift.
Do you work with Strathfield businesses face to face?
Yes. Strathfield is around 25 minutes from our Fairfield studio, and we already work with Westside Sports Chiro in nearby Homebush West, so meetings, photography and site visits around the station and Homebush are practical.
Where do the documents live?
In whatever you already use, such as Google Drive or Notion, so there's nothing new to learn.
