New dedicated SOP creation feature
Gravity SOP Foundry
This is separate from the general Forms Personalizer. Build restaurant SOPs from any of the 525 current Gravity source masters, load department or specialty packs, carry restaurant fields across the pack, create fully blank SOPs, control revisions, compare working copies to the Gravity master, build a binder, and print your own. The Foundry now contains all 525 controlled SOP masters aligned to the three downloadable digital library volumes. All three digital volumes are available; Lulu/Amazon print-retail preparation is tracked separately.
New • Reusable implementation packs
Fulfillment packs for the books managers will use repeatedly.

Reviewed without a separate forms pack: the Gravity Restaurant SOP Library is already a procedure library. Volumes 1–3 are available as digital editions; the Restaurant AI Prompts & Systems Workbook is already a prompt library. Neither contains a distinct reusable blank-form section that would justify another download.

Permanent IDs do not change when a restaurant customizes a form. The primary record owner below controls completion, handoff, and verification; supporting roles may perform assigned work without changing the form’s ownership.

| GRV-MGR-LOG-01 | Manager Log & Shift Handoff | Manager on Duty | Incoming manager reads/acknowledges; GM reviews recurring or unresolved items. |
| GRV-IV-CAR-01 | Corrective-Action Record | Assigned corrective-action owner | MOD/GM controls due dates; a verifier closes only after evidence confirms correction. |

| GRV-RC-MNT-01 | Equipment Maintenance Log | Designated facilities/equipment owner | MOD applies safe temporary control; GM/vendor/qualified verifier confirms return to service. |
Small restaurants may assign several owner roles to the same manager. The control requirement is one clearly named accountable owner per record—not a new job title.
