Checklists & duties

Opening and closing lists that actually get finished.

Give every role a clear list for the shift, see what's done without walking the floor, and keep a history you can check when something was missed.

What you get

Opening, closing, and side-work duties by role, with photo proof where it matters.

  • 01Lists by area and shift

    Organize duties into tabs for each part of the day, set when they're expected to be done, and choose which departments see them.

  • 02Repeating or one-off

    Set a duty to repeat, give it a due date, and choose how many days early it appears — or add a one-off task for today.

  • 03Photo proof where it matters

    Require a photo to complete a duty. Managers review it and can send it back with a note explaining what needs fixing.

  • 04Shared or individual completion

    Decide whether one person finishing a duty completes it for the team, or whether everyone assigned has to do it themselves.

Common questions

Good to know.

Can managers see progress across the restaurant?+

Yes. The duty overview shows checklist completion across every department at a location, so a manager can see what's left before the shift ends.

Can I keep a record of what was done?+

Yes. Pick a date to see what was completed that day, or export a CSV history for any date range.

Do checklists work beyond the bar and kitchen?+

Yes. Duties follow your areas, so a pastry section, a patio, or anything else you add gets its own list.
