By roleTip rules

Configured shares calculate from the roles and hours behind the shift.

One boardEvery 86

Every bar and every server sees the same stock status.

One scheduleBuilt for the weekend

Copy the week you know, make changes, then publish the right version.

Less chasing.
More control.

The work, the changes, and the close stay attached to the shift. Everyone works from the same current record.

Calculate tip-out by role and hours.

Set the rules once. RunBackhouse calculates bartenders, barbacks, and runners by role and hours, then keeps the close math visible.

Rules and inputs remain visible

Give every bar and server the same 86 board.

Mark the well tequila once and every bartender, server, and manager sees it. No shouting down the rail. No comping what you cannot make.

Fill late call-outs faster.

Send an open shift to every eligible team member at once. Route swaps to managers for approval.

Keep shift updates out of unrelated group chats.

Specials, handoffs, and close notes stay attached to the shift they belong to.

A clear record from open through close.

Each handoff carries the decisions and completed work forward. The next person does not have to reconstruct what happened.

What operators ask before they switch.

Can we start without a big implementation?+

Yes. Create the venue, invite the crew, and start with the workflow causing the most friction. Add the rest when the team is ready.

What does the team get out of it?+

A current schedule, fewer group-text handoffs, clear assigned work, live 86s, and a shared tip-out record. That gives staff practical reasons to use the system, not just another app to download.

Does the whole team use it on their phones?+

Yes. Schedules, changes, lists, messages, and the 86 board stay in reach wherever the shift is happening.

Do we pay for every employee?+

No. Every plan includes unlimited staff. Pricing changes with capability and location count, not headcount.

Does RunBackhouse run payroll?+

RunBackhouse prepares the hours, overtime, roles, rates, and tips your payroll provider needs on Growth and above. Your provider still runs payroll, files taxes, and moves money.
