A Note from Sam
+ Kiowa — I want to take a moment to express how grateful I am that you signed the Operating Agreement and officially locked arms with me on this. That wasn't just a signature — it was trust, and I don't take that lightly.

+ You believed in this vision before there was a trailer, before there was revenue, before there was proof. That kind of faith is rare, and I want you to know it's seen and deeply valued.

+ Annie helped me draft the culture and values foundation for our employee handbook (sections 1-3 below). I wanted to get those principles locked in early because they shape everything else we build. But the operational backbone — the compliance, the SOPs, the systems that make this thing actually scale — that's YOUR territory. That's what you were built for.

+ This tracker shows where we stand and what each of us is responsible for completing. We're building something real, and I'm honored to be building it with you.

+ Let's get it. 🤝 +

Kiowa owns the most sections because they're all operational/compliance — exactly what the OA defines as her role (SOPs, compliance, systems for scale).
+ + +
+

Next Steps

+
    +
  • Kiowa: Start with Section 11 (Health & Safety) and Section 12 (Food Safety) — these are required for our health department permit application and have hard deadlines.
    • +
  • Sam: Draft Section 6 (Compensation & Pay) — tip policy and pay structure need to be locked before hiring.
    • +
  • Together: Meet to align on Section 4 (Employment Basics) and Section 19 (Discipline) — these set the legal tone for the entire document.
    • +
  • Attorney: Section 17 (Anti-Harassment) gets reviewed last — once we have the rest drafted, we send the full handbook for legal review.
