Sunny Point Café 3 Employee Handbook
Our Mission Sunny Point Café’s mission is to enrich the lives of our guests, our employees and owners. We do this through superior quality food and beverages, legendary customer service, sales growth, cost controls and treating our employees like family. We believe that our employees are one of our most important resources and our success depends upon creating and retaining a staff capable of delivering an exceptional dining experience to every customer, every time.
Our Way of Doing Business Sunny Point Café’s success depends on our people. Our restaurant can only prosper and provide opportunities for employment and growth when we continually improve ourselves, and the work we do. We recognize however, that success is not measured by sales; guest counts, and numbers alone. We are measured as much by the way in which we achieve our goals, as we are by the actual achievements themselves. We believe that a commitment to uncompromising values and integrity should always guide our decisions and actions as we pursue our goals. Following are the core values that form the foundation of our measurement of success:
We believe in providing legendary service. Our goal is to provide the kind of unique and genuine sort of personal care and attention that our customers tell stories about.
We believe that good isn’t good enough. We never stop trying to do it better, no matter how good we are. We constantly strive to “raise the bar.”
We believe in honesty and trust. We work to build trust with others in each and every transaction and interaction. We recognize that honesty and trust form the bond that holds organizations and relationships together.
We believe in the ongoing training and development of our people. We see it as a worthy investment in the future of the restaurant and as a way of enabling our people to achieve their potential in whatever they do.
Sunny Point Café 4 Employee Handbook
We believe our continued success depends on teamwork. We know that great achievements are only possible from helping and respecting each other.
We believe in a clean and orderly restaurant. From after shift cleaning to the little wipes and cleaning made throughout the day, a clean restaurant is an appetizing restaurant.
We believe in doing business in a professional and orderly manner. While we promote a relaxed atmosphere we expect your focus to stay on the job while you are here.
We believe in being responsible to others and to ourselves. We do what we say we are going to do when we say we are going to do it. We believe in personal accountability and avoid blaming others when things don’t turn out as planned.
