In this episode of Making Dough Show, we share another shocking and embarrassing story from one of our restaurants, emphasizing the importance of caution and conducting background checks when hiring. The story revolves around a staff member we will call “John”, who had a parole officer and was revealed to be a sex offender, leading to his dismissal.

The incident took us by surprise as we had no knowledge of John's criminal background during his two months of employment. The situation was further complicated by miscommunication, as the manager initially stated that the parole officer wanted John to quit without disclosing the actual reason.

From this experience, we learned three valuable lessons: the world can be unpredictable, appearances can be deceptive, and thorough background checks are crucial, especially when hiring individuals who may interact with vulnerable groups.

By sharing this story, we aim to help others avoid similar predicaments and learn from our mistakes. Conducting background checks is essential, and there are numerous services available to assist in this process, particularly when hiring managers or leaders.
