Tips

  • If customers keep walking into the back, it's usually because nobody is at the front. Tell them how to get help instead.
  • Put it on the door at eye level, not above it. People walking in look straight ahead.
  • For a kitchen or stock room door that swings both ways, print two and put one on each side.

Questions

Is "staff only" or "employees only" better?

They mean the same thing. "Staff only" is shorter and reads faster from a distance.
