Why Procedures Matter?
Everyone wants a great-tasting, fresh pizza product when they make a purchase—whether this be at their favorite grocery store, convenience store or at your dine-in restaurant option. However, consistently meeting the expectations across multiple locations or between employees can be extremely challenging.
That’s why within the pizza manufacturing process, it is imperative to establish procedures so that your pizza operation can provide consistent quality, and have happy customers. You’ll also be able to streamline your training processes and reduce waste, saving you money.
Implementing Standard Operating Procedures
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) should be implemented so that your everyday operations are organized and allow you and your staff to make great products every time.
We made a list of some of the more important SOPs to implement within the food service industry so you can get a head start. We go from safety to service.
Food Safety SOPs

Make sure all food contact surfaces are clean and sanitized
Address food allergies and avoid cross-contamination

Be sure to label and rotate inventory as well as educate on food handling
Dispose of expired products ASAP

Customer Service SOPs *If applicable

Lastly, remember that these are just a baseline and your SOPs could look slightly different. That’s okay! Implementing these procedures and carrying them out consistently (whether you’re a solopreneur or have a large staff) will help communicate expectations to other employees and keep everyone on the same page.
It will also allow for new employees to have a baseline for where to get started and make great products possible.
