Business Owner’s Staff & Ops Manual
Running the Shop Without Losing Money or Trust
A 25-page staff and operations manual — roles, pay, SOPs, compliance, and exactly when to scale — built from three real businesses, not a template.
By the team behind Mangosssip Cafe, Ratio18 Coffee, and DandyFinds Fitness & Wellness.
Five ways a café, coffee, or wellness shop quietly loses money
“This manual wasn’t written by a consultant reading about coffee shops and gyms from the outside — it was built from actually opening the register every morning, training crew from their first shift, and figuring out the hard way which SOPs actually prevent losses.”
— Chrystal Vien, Founder & Operator

Questions people usually ask
No. The framework applies to any small service business with staff, cash handling, and stock — cafés, coffee brands, fitness studios, salons, and similar setups. The included examples cover both café and fitness & wellness operations.
Small teams benefit the most, since there’s usually no HR department to catch gaps early. The SOPs are written to work whether you have 2 people or 20.
