Side Work Checklists
Every task assigned. Every task tracked. No excuses.
Create position-based checklists for opening, mid-shift, and closing duties. Staff check off tasks from their phone, managers see completion in real-time. Digital accountability that replaces the "I forgot" excuse.
Use Cases
Shift duty tracking
Assign specific opening, mid-shift, and closing tasks by position — servers, bussers, bartenders, hosts, kitchen. Everyone knows exactly what's expected.
Mobile check-off
Staff complete checklists on their phone with one tap per task. Managers see real-time completion status without walking the entire floor.
Completion summaries
Email summaries show who completed what — and who didn't. Built-in accountability without the awkward conversations.
Shift-type flexibility
Create different checklists for opening, mid-shift, and closing — or custom shift types unique to your restaurant.
Position-based assignment
Different positions get different tasks. Servers focus on sections, bussers on table setup, bartenders on bar prep — each person sees only their responsibilities.
