How-To Guides as a Service
I turn real-world systems into clear, repeatable instructions—so new people can succeed on day one. These guides don’t just teach what to do… they also teach the expected behavior that protects people, relationships, and the mission.
Best for: churches, nonprofits, small teams, volunteer programs, and any environment where
“we’ve always done it this way” is stuck in someone’s head instead of written down.
What you’re actually getting
1) What to do (steps)
- Simple step-by-step instructions
- Timing, locations, check-ins, and handoffs
- What to bring / what not to bring
- Clear “done means done” finish line
2) How to be (behavior)
- How to represent your organization well
- How to speak to partners and team members
- What attitudes prevent chaos and conflict
- How to handle mistakes with humility and calm
Guides are written for the real world: tired people, busy mornings, and “I’ve never done this before.”
The goal is calm competence—without shame.

Low-confusion handoffs
What the guide covers (steps)
- Pickup address + arrival time
- Who to contact and what to say when you arrive
- Loading process and transportation flow
- Return procedure: where food goes (coolers/freezers/shelves)
- What to do if something is missing / unclear
Expected behavior (how we represent the mission)
- Be on time. If you’re delayed, communicate early.
- Be respectful and calm—partners are serving under pressure too.
- Take ownership: if you’re unsure, ask instead of guessing.
- Protect dignity: handle food with care and avoid careless talk.
- Leave spaces better than you found them (carts returned, areas clean).
Why this matters: behavior is the system.
Clear steps prevent mistakes; clear expectations prevent conflict and protect relationships.
