When to use it

Day one of every new hire — front-of-house, back-of-house, host, dishwasher, all of them.
When promoting from within — onboard them into the new role, do not assume they have it.
Back-to-back with the orientation packet — the checklist is the proof of completion.

Common mistakes

Confusing this with HR onboarding. This is operational only — no I-9, no W-4, no state new-hire reporting.
Skipping the manager-on-duty intro. The new hire needs to know who to ask before service starts.
Treating the trail shifts as informal. Schedule them, log them, debrief after each.
