Why have policies and procedures in the tuckshop?

Murphy's First Law states that “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong” and this a true adage in the school tuckshop

As a rule, a policy sets out the “why” behind an action, while a procedure explains the “how”. They take the “personal” out of decisions and ways of doing things They are what you fall back on instead of “well, we’ve just always done it that way”. They cover you when things go wrong

Every tuckshop needs policies and procedures to operate effectively and successfully They guide how the tuckshop operates and can reduce the risk of liability In addition, they promote consistency for both employees and the school community.

Examples of common tuckshop policies include (but aren’t limited to):

Forgotten Lunch Policy

Dress

Code Policy

Personal Hygiene policy

Code of Conduct for students and parents
