In hospitality, those expectations can get complicated fast. Tips. Tip pools. Service charges. Cash wages. Tip credits. Credit card processing fees. Multiple roles. Overtime. Side work. Event pay. Pay changes. For restaurants, breweries, taprooms, wineries, tasting rooms, event spaces, and hospitality businesses, pay practices need to be clear. Not just in payroll. Not just in a manager’s head. In writing. https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/after-hours-work-shift-drinks-hospitality-policies monthly 0.5 2026-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/1777674088403-SK4DFQJGWEX20WJC93LC/unsplash-image-_HXFz-0g9w8.jpg Blog - After-Hours Work, Shift Drinks, and the Policies Hospitality Businesses Need in Writing - Hospitality work does not always end neatly when the shift ends. Guests linger. Events run long. A team member stays to help clean. Someone grabs a shift drink. A manager asks for “just one more thing” before everyone leaves. In restaurants, breweries, taprooms, wineries, tasting rooms, and event spaces, these moments are common. But when expectations are unclear, they can create risk. https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/informal-hr-practices-hospitality-businesses monthly 0.5 2026-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/1777673387171-FLQDD3M82F54AO8J6Q10/unsplash-image-7Xdw2sPK5rQ.jpg Blog - Informal HR Practices Can Create Real Risk for Hospitality Businesses - Most HR problems do not start with bad intent. They start with a quick decision. A verbal exception. A manager trying to be flexible. A “we’ll handle it this way for now” moment that quietly becomes the normal way of doing business. In restaurants, breweries, taprooms, wineries, tasting rooms, event spaces, and hospitality businesses, informal practices are common. The work moves fast. Guests need attention. Managers solve problems in real time. But when informal practices are not written down, tracked, or applied consistently, they can create real risk. https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/outdated-employee-handbook-hospitality-risk monthly 0.5 2026-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/1777672705158-F4T7C5YEC9PG6KZOACQI/unsplash-image-hEC6zxdFF0M.jpg Blog - The Handbook Gap: When Policy and Real Life Don’t Match - Your handbook may look fine on paper. It may have the standard policies. It may live in your HRIS. Employees may even sign it during onboarding. But the real question is: Does your handbook match how your business actually operates? For restaurants, breweries, taprooms, wineries, tasting rooms, event spaces, and hospitality businesses, risk often shows up in the gap between the written policy and real life. https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/brewery-employee-handbook-updates monthly 0.5 2026-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/1777671975938-YMPMY9K423JDVPQJH9NX/unsplash-image-2UsNF4Az-Ko.jpg Blog - Your Brewery Has Changed. Has Your Handbook? - Cheers! Your brewery probably does not operate the same way it did two years ago. Your team has changed. Your guest expectations have changed. Your managers are making more decisions. Employees may be working across roles, supporting events, helping with cleanup, covering shifts, or doing work that was never clearly written into the original job description. But has your employee handbook changed with the business? For many breweries, taprooms, wineries, restaurants, and hospitality businesses, the answer is no. The handbook gets created once, saved somewhere, and only pulled out when there is a problem. But in a people-driven business, your handbook should not be a forgotten document. It should be a practical tool that helps employees understand expectations and helps managers lead consistently. https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/category/Hospitality+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/category/Fractional+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/category/Employee+Handbooks monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/category/Restaurant+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/category/Compliance monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/category/Brewery+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/restaurant+employee+handbook monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/craft+beverage+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/timekeeping monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/employee+handbook+review monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/front+of+house+policies monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/tip+policy monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/outdated+employee+handbook monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/after-hours+work monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/payroll+compliance monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/brewery+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/taproom+policies monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/tip+pool monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/fractional+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/informal+HR+practices monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/employee+policies monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/hospitality+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/restaurant+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/tip+credit monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/employee+handbook monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/hospitality+employee+policies monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/shift+drinks+policy monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/hospitality+employee+handbook monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/manager+consistency monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/service+charges monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/handbook+updates monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/HR+compliance monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/winery+HR monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/brewery+employee+handbook monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/winery+handbook monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/hospitality+HR+compliance monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/blog/tag/pay+practices monthly 0.5 https://www.crafthrpros.com/home daily 1.0 2026-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/c1c351b6-696c-4285-92ce-c5504b54a624/Distillery+7.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/52cfe806-18bc-4088-96fb-15de5701cb3a/Distillery+13.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/5c1e2aad-b8e3-4e5b-a2e6-72a85ede582b/brewsters-logo-768x512.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/b2abdda6-f4b5-4f52-85d6-bdbfc6ff8dd0/FAX-LOGO-Block-WEB.webp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/12e22868-5184-45f4-94fb-bdedc40892ba/waterhawk+lake+club.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/1bc53bb7-a8ed-4455-8f6c-0358bc29c44f/protea+logo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/404bbab4-7671-4ff8-ad77-7933568ecef3/dillon+beach+resort.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/1b7aba83-7abb-4d4a-abb5-fad80451a5a2/state+room+brewery.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/716dfb39-9fec-4510-bc3b-0baa9cff1236/recs+logo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/ec7ee011-90e9-460b-8cc0-916c77ea84ec/groth+logo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/dfdb5c76-3436-4c97-ab43-7ccdb2ee26bd/prohibition-spirits-logo-01+%281%29.png https://www.crafthrpros.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a8c38cb1c73e0764f9db91/f30d217a-19ba-4d44-9558-7da61a3408b7/jessica-hart-2024-162.jpg https://www.crafthrpros.com/services daily 0.75 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Services
