of 6— Create Your Claude Pro Account
What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a Claude Project set up with your restaurant's actual policies and templates loaded inside it — so every time you need to write a coaching notice, corrective action plan, or policy summary, Claude already knows your store's format and you don't have to explain context from scratch.
What you'll need
- Claude Pro account at claude.ai ($20/month — cancel anytime)
- A copy of your employee handbook or key policies (PDF, Word doc, or even a photo of the printed pages works)
- Any document templates your franchise uses (write-up form, CAP template, etc.)
- Time needed: 30–45 minutes to set up; 2–3 minutes per document after
- Cost: $20/month for Claude Pro

Step 1: Create Your Claude Pro Account
- Go to claude.ai and click Get Claude Pro
- Create an account with your email and subscribe to Pro ($20/mo)
- You'll land on Claude's main chat interface
Why Pro? The free version of Claude works for basic tasks, but the "Projects" feature — which lets you upload documents and save context — requires Pro. If you use Claude every workday, $20/mo works out to less than $1 per workday.
