# Welcome

The Sample Coffee Handbook is:

* A hub for all our documents, policies and formalised procedures at Sample Coffee.
* A place to inform all staff members about their rights and duties as part of our workforce.
* An open-source guide to set an example and inspire other businesses to establish their own (the same way [Code for Australia](https://codeforaustralia.org/) did for us with [theirs](https://handbook.codeforaustralia.org/)).

The platforms where we store all related content are:

* **GitBook** (here) 
  * Processes and policies that are not commercially sensitive and which we are happy to share with the public.
* **Google Drive**
  * Private: Organisational documents that are commercially sensitive and for the current team's eyes only.
  * Public: Processes and policies that we are happy to share (which are usually found and accessed through our website or embedded in this GitBook).
* [**Our website**](https://samplecoffee.com.au/)
  * General procedures, systems and other content.

The platforms we use for internal communications, aside from verbally IRL or via phone/text, are:
