Safety

Exits, emergencies, and calm under pressure.

Safety protects guests and staff alike. Know exits, extinguishers, and who to call before you need them.

Kitchen alerts

  • Wet floor signs go out immediately after spills.
  • Report damaged glassware; never serve from cracked pieces.
  • Know the location of the first-aid kit behind the bar.
Danger
In a fire, guests leave first. Staff sweep rooms only if it is safe.

Remember

Composure calms a room faster than volume.
