Restaurants, cafes, bakeries and cloud kitchens are all workplaces under the POSH Act, 2013. With late shifts, busy service hours, tight kitchen spaces and constant customer interaction, chefs, servers and staff need a safe and respectful workplace. Learn when your restaurant needs an Internal Committee and how Nawal Foundation helps food businesses with POSH awareness and compliance.
Does the POSH Act Apply to Your Restaurant or Café?
Yes. Restaurants, cafés, bakeries and cloud kitchens are workplaces under the POSH Act, 2013. Post covid we have seen a great surge in café and restaurants but have we ever thought that even the restaurant you own or where you go to spend some casual time comes under the POSH Act?
Chefs, servers, receptionists, kitchen assistants, delivery coordination staff and managers all deserve a safe working environment.
Busy service hours, late shifts, close working spaces and customer interactions make employee sensitisation particularly important.
Do your employees know what workplace sexual harassment means?
Do they know where to complain if a colleague, supervisor or customer behaves inappropriately?
Restaurants and cafés with 10 or more employees must constitute an Internal Committee. Smaller establishments also have responsibilities under the law.
Nawal Foundation supports food businesses through practical POSH awareness sessions, management orientation and workplace compliance guidance.
Good service begins with a team that feels safe and respected.
Connect with Nawal Foundation for POSH training at your restaurant.
