For shift leaders and small-team owners

Team chat and tasks for your staff

Assignments no longer disappear in messages: each task has an assignee, deadline and completion rule, and you review the result alongside its discussion.

Chat and board come with your account plan and staff permissions; AI operations are separate.

No card to register. Choose your business type; the owner grants staff access.

The board requires a connection. Checking that a note or photo exists does not judge work quality.

  • An assignee and deadline
  • Notes, photos or subtasks required for completion
  • Internal work separate from customer conversations

What you need to start

One recurring task

Opening, equipment checks or document preparation. Define the result.

Logins and access

Each person uses their own login and permitted work sections.

Acceptance criteria

Choose a note, photo or separate approval. An attachment alone does not prove quality.

Internet access

No offline board queue. Test on the employee’s device first.

Your first workflow

  1. 1

    Choose a location and people

    Create a staff login and grant work-chat and task access. Open the location board as the owner.

  2. 2

    Define the result

    Assign the person and deadline. Require a note, photo or completed subtasks if needed.

  3. 3

    Review the work

    The assignee adds evidence. The manager reviews it; approval requests require a separate management decision.

Try your own example

Product steps, not testimonials or promised results.

  • Team chat

    Shift group chat on the phone: the manager and a waitress agree on a party booking
    Real screen, test data, 3 October 2026. Discussion next to the tasks, not in a personal messenger
  • Tasks on the phone

    Shift task list on an employee's phone: open, in progress and done with assignees
    Real screen, test data, 3 October 2026. The same board on the employee's phone
  • Evidence and review

    Task card on the phone: a photo is required to close it, with Take photo and Choose file buttons
    Real screen, test data, 3 October 2026. The task can’t be closed without a photo; a manager reviews the content
  • Assignee and deadline

    Shift task board in the dashboard: To do, In progress and Done columns with assignees and due dates
    Real screen, test data, 3 October 2026. Every task has an assignee and a due date

Try completing a task without required evidence

Server unit tests check notes, photos and subtasks. No live shift or notification delivery is simulated.

  1. 1

    Assignee, deadline and completion rule

    The task has an assignee and deadline; require a note before work begins.

    Completion rules →
  2. 2

    No completion without attached evidence

    The server rejects completion without the note. Dragging a photo-required task to Done cannot bypass that rule.

    Task board →
  3. 3

    Manager review

    Adding the note satisfies the field requirement. A manager still checks the actual work.

    Discuss the result →

How it works in practice

  • Morning briefing in a café back room: the manager shows the team the task board on a TV screen
    Illustration; the screen shows the real interface, test data, 3 October 2026. Briefing in front of the shift task board
  • Barista by a cleaned espresso machine closing a task on the phone that requires a photo

Where it helps the owner

Shift handover

Example: unfinished work stays open with an assignee and comment.

An off-site owner

Example: review the employee’s photo and note on the task.

An expense needs approval

Example: a repair request awaits a manager’s explicit decision.

Example situations. Measure time and costs with your own operations.

Account plans and staff access apply. Paid AI operations are separate.

Cost considerations

  • Review account and staff limits
  • Manual tasks do not require AI intake
  • AI coordination and paid operations have separate costs
  • Measure reminder time and tasks without results across comparable shifts

What you can start for free

Begin with a manual task, assignee, deadline and completion rule. No AI coordinator is needed for this check; review account and staff limits.

Assign your first task

No card to register. Choose your business type; the owner grants staff access.

What to consider before you start

  • Online only; loss of connection does not mean a task was saved.
  • Evidence presence is checked, not quality.
  • This is internal team chat; customer channels are separate.
  • Deadlines and reminders do not guarantee completion.

Test your workflow and required connections before migrating data.

Frequently asked questions

Is this only for food service?

No. Choose your own business type. Shops, salons, hotels and service firms can use team tasks.

Does every task need manager approval?

No. Ordinary tasks use completion rules. Approval requests require a separate management decision.

How does an employee participate?

With their own login and permitted sections. Test receiving and completing one task first.

Details for every screen are in the help centre. Where to start →

Walk through one assignment with two people

A manager assigns work and a completion rule; an employee provides the result. Verify this before moving all checklists.
