     1   Q.   So how to organise the crew within a store?
     2        A.  Organising what?  Organising them would be an
     3        operational thing.
     4
     5   Q.   You said "organisational".  That is the problem.  How to
     6        make sure you have got the right number of crew present and
     7        for getting the jobs done and if there are any problems
     8        that arise how to deal with those problems?
     9        A.  Yes, broadly speaking, yes.
    10
    11   Q.   Sorry, that was a bit of a side track.  That manual is just
    12        for management, is it?
    13        A.  That is who it was intended to.
    14
    15   Q.   So it is not given to crew?
    16        A.  No.
    17
    18   Q.   Are they allowed to see it?
    19        A.  Yes, if they wanted to, yes.  There are a number of
    20        things that are duplicated in the Crew Handbook and in the
    21        Manual.
    22
    23   Q.   The section on employment of young people, is that done
    24        from the records that the store has as well?
    25        A.  Yes.
    26
    27   Q.   There are just a couple of other questions I wanted to ask
    28        you.  On section 6, Legal, it has "giving away food" in a
    29        separate category.  Why is that?
    30        A.  Because that is a notice which is displayed and it is
    31        really just an internal thing, that some regions wanted to
    32        mark their restaurants down if they did not have the notice
    33        displayed and others just did not because it messed up the
    34        number of points.  So it was just ticked if they had it.
    35        It is not a compulsory notice, in other words.
    36
    37   Q.   So that is a notice to crew saying they are not allowed to
    38        give away food?
    39        A.  That is right.  It is an extract from the Crew Handbook
    40        which is displayed in some restaurants.
    41
    42   Q.   If you get section 2 of the document, it is on the second
    43        page, it says:  "Performance reviews are calculated since
    44        the last full field or 12 months".  Which performance
    45        reviews are those?
    46        A.  The performance reviews of the hourly paid people whose
    47        files you would check.
    48
    49   Q.   Can you just explain what that means there?
    50        A.  Yes.  What happens is you take a sample of files which 
    51        would be either 10 or 20, or in some large restaurants it 
    52        could even be 30 or 40, but if I take 20 as the benchmark, 
    53        and in going through those files, when you are looking at
    54        these other things which are in section 1, when you look at
    55        the performance reviews, you go back through the file to
    56        see which performance reviews have been conducted during
    57        that time, either since the last full field, as it was then
    58        called, or 12 months.
    59
    60   Q.   So you are calculating how many performance reviews have
