For single-location cafés with 4–15 staff and 2–3 shifts a day

The next shift sees what brokeis pendinga customer complained about before service starts.

Shift Notes for Cafés is one shared board of dated shift records. Any barista posts a short summary, the open tasks with an owner and a due time, and an incident note from a phone. The incoming shift opens the board and reads the latest record first.

Dated shift records

A short summary of the shift, written by whoever worked it.

Open tasks with an owner

Each task carries who owns it and the time it is due.

An incident note

What a customer complained about, kept with the shift it happened on.

How it works

One board, three moves, every handoff

Post at the end of your shift, read at the start of the next one. Nothing else to learn.

Post the shift from your phone

Any teammate signs in with their email and a 6-digit code emailed to them, then writes the dated record: a short summary, the open tasks with an owner and a due time, and an incident note if something happened.

The board stays the same for everyone

A small backend keeps one shared board, so the record a barista posts is the record the shift lead reads. The owner shares the board address with the crew once.

The incoming shift reads the latest record first

The board opens on the newest dated record, so the opening barista sees what broke, what is pending and what a customer complained about before the first order.

Capabilities

What the board gives your café

One job, done properly: the handoff between shifts.

A dated record per shift

Every shift gets its own record with a short summary, so the day reads in order and nothing is overwritten.

Open tasks that carry an owner

Each task names who owns it and when it is due, so a pending restock does not wait for someone to remember it.

Incident notes kept with the shift

What a customer complained about stays attached to the shift it happened on, instead of scrolling away in chat.

$9 one-time for 30 days of access to your café's shared board, renewed manually after expiry. Browsing the sample board and reading the offer is free.

Give the next shift the record it needs

One shared board, posted from a phone, read latest-first before service starts. The owner pays once for 30 days; baristas and shift leads just post and read.
