Keep the routine consistent
Save a reusable list instead of rewriting the same opening or cleaning jobs every day.
DAILY CHECKLISTS
A dependable routine,
even on a busy day.
Make the jobs around opening, closing and cleaning clear. Give your team a shared list and see what needs attention before the next handover.
Less remembering. More visibility.
A paper list can tell you what should happen. A shared checklist also shows what happened, who completed it, and why a step was skipped.
Make handovers easier
Notes and skip reasons give the next person context, rather than another mystery to resolve.
Review the exceptions
See overdue and missed required tasks so you can follow up on the steps that still need attention.
HOW IT WORKS
From your first list to a useful daily habit
Write a short, useful list
Add your tasks and choose everyone at the location or a work-label pool, such as barista or cleaner. Mark occasional tasks optional.
Choose when it runs
Start a run yourself, repeat it daily, or select weekdays. Set an opening time, deadline and closing time for recurring work.
Let staff work through it together
Staff open their eligible lists on a phone, complete a task with a few taps, or skip it with a reason. Everyone in the pool shares the same run.
Review what happened
See the staff member and completion time, notes and skips. Required tasks left unfinished at closing become missed. Managers can record late work or corrections with a reason, keeping the original history.
AN EVERYDAY EXAMPLE
A café’s opening routine
The barista team shares “Check the machine, wipe the workspace, restock the counter.” Jamie completes the machine check. Casey sees that it’s already done and takes the next step.
If stock hasn’t arrived, a skip reason explains the gap. The owner can review it without asking each person what happened.
Illustrative example. You choose the tasks and the people eligible to complete them.
A few practical questions
Does every shift get its own copy?
No. A checklist is a shared routine, separate from shifts. Overlapping staff work on the same run, and closing or weekly tasks can happen outside a particular shift.
What happens when I change a template?
New runs use the updated routine. Existing runs retain their original tasks and audience, along with the record of completed work.
Can staff use it on their phone?
Yes. Staff sign in to their invited account and use the mobile web pages. An internet connection is needed to view and save work.
