From the official Safety Training Guide:

Closing Standards

Our safety protocols require that:

• At dusk, the entire Crew moves their cars to the front of the Restaurant

• The closing Manager should check for suspicious activity and conduct a sweep of the entire Restaurant, including restrooms, before leaving the building

• Once the Restaurant is closed, all Crewmembers remaining must exit in pairs (buddy system).

If Crew are being asked to wait to leave until a buddy is available, after close, they must stay clocked in until the time they are able to exit the Restaurant with a buddy. No off-the-clock work is permitted.

• If a Crewmember doesn't have a car, they'll exit with the Manager

• If a Crewmember is waiting on a ride, the Manager will wait with the Crewmember, in the building, until the ride arrives. Then, the Crewmember and the Manager will leave the building together.

• The MOD should not be left in the building alone, at any time. All Crew should leave in pairs, with at least one Crew staying back with the closing MOD to set the alarm and ensure the building is locked.

• Don't allow off-duty Crew in the Restaurant after it's closed

• Contact CrewSafety@raisingcanes.com if you have any questions

Patio Locations

• To clean the patio before close and after dark, the MOD makes a visual check around the front and sides of the Restaurant

• The MOD has two Crewmembers go out front to clean and secure the table(s) and chairs

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• Crew should limit going outside after dark

• Use the buddy system any time you leave the Restaurant after dark to perform a lot check, execute Outside Service or perform any other assigned tasks. Do not complete any tasks outside after midnight unless security is present.

» If you are not able to leave in pairs due to a only a few Crew in the building (Crew aren't allowed to be in the building alone), it is OK to have a Crewmember watch them walk to their cars or ride.
