HOMEROOM

Restaurant Association Panelists on How to Stop Sexual Harassment | Eater SF

"I had practiced labor law before I started Homeroom, so I thought I was on top of harassment policy, but I was shocked to learn that a number of my staff were being harassed by customers; to address this I devised a simple color-coded system—staff say yellow for a questionable remark, orange for more overtly sexual or discomforting remarks, and red for overt comments or touching—and an automatic action follows (a manager must take over the table and ask the guest to leave), which removes the need for individual judgment and has virtually eliminated red-level harassment." - Caleb Pershan
