What changes on the shift
Less chasing.
More control.
The work, the changes, and the close stay attached to the shift. Everyone works from the same current record.
Give every open and close a clear checklist.
Espresso machine on. Pastry case stocked. Register counted. Every step is checked off by name and time.
Keep food-safety logs organized and searchable.
Log coolers, freezers, and sanitizer from a phone. Out-of-range readings are flagged for follow-up.
Publish the schedule to the whole team.
Copy last week, fix the gaps, and publish. Everyone gets the current schedule on their phone.
Keep every outage and handoff in one place.
Mark a menu item 86'd once, share the update with the crew, and keep the next shift from starting blind.
A connected shift
From opening checklist to completed close.
Each handoff carries the decisions and completed work forward. The next person does not have to reconstruct what happened.
Complete opening checks
The opening list is live before the first key turns.
Record service changes
Everyone sees the shift, the notes and what just changed.
Complete the handoff
Temps, checklists, and side work move cleanly to the next crew.
Complete the closing list
Every final task has a name, a time, and a clean handoff to tomorrow.

Common questions
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.
