For the person in charge

You run the shift. Hand it off clean.

It is 2:05 pm, the owner left at one, and the walk-in report is still open. See who is on and what is open. At close, pass it to the next person on their list.

The plain answer

Is person in charge
a job title in the app?

No. It is a flag on a person, not a role.

The app has four roles: Owner, Admin, Manager and Staff. Person in charge is marked on top of one of them.

A manager or owner taps Put in charge next to a name on the On-shift list. A Lead invite is a staff member who is already marked.

You keep your staff tabs. Your Today adds a card that says you are in charge.

Taking over

What do I see
when I take over?

Today shows who is on shift. Each person reads Ready, Needs check-in or No food work today. It never says why.

See it work

Open the on-shift list on sample data.

  • Person in charge (staff): Today, Checks, Report, Learn, Profile
  • Manager: Today, Team, Checks, Report, More

You keep the staff tabs. Your Today adds the on-shift list and the close hand-off.

That is what changes on Today. The tabs stay the same.

2:05 pm

What about the walk-in
at 2 pm?

The owner left at one. A regular is waiting to pay, the new hire is asking where the sanitizer strips are, and the walk-in report is still open. During service only the urgent items show; the rest fold away. A bad reading or a report shows on your Today first when you are the person in charge on shift.

At close

What do I do
at close?

One button. It counts what is open, adds your note and puts it on the next person's list.

Start your 25 days free

The owner starts the account. You start handing off clean.

Hand off the shift
  1. See what is still open

    The open readings and reports, counted.

  2. Add a note

    One line for the next person.

  3. Tap Hand off the shift

    Pick who. It goes on their list. A clean close reads Nothing to hand off. A clean close.

  4. Tell them too

    The app says Tell them in person too. A browser alert reaches them only if they said yes to alerts.

That is the whole close.

Someone cannot work

What if someone
can't work?

The list says No food work today. It never says the symptom. The Food Code step is one tap away, so a short-staffed day is a plain outcome, not an argument.

  • Employee health: report, exclude, restrict

    Food workers report vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, pus-filled sores, Big 6 diagnoses and exposures; the person in charge excludes or restricts.

    Food Code 2-201.11, 2-201.12, 2-201.13; R392-102-15(4)

    When does a sick food worker have to stay home?

Read the sick workers guide

Read what the Food Code says to do.

Tonight

So what is
different tonight?

Handed off. Go home.

The open list goes with the hand-off. Where the app cannot reach, it says so and tells you to tell them in person.

You can also nudge someone whose 3 pm sanitizer strip is late. Nag writes the message. You copy it and send it.

Questions

Before you
start.

Is person in charge a role in the app?

No. It is a flag on a person. The roles are Owner, Admin, Manager and Staff. A manager or owner can put someone in charge.

Do I get blamed for what the morning shift missed?

No. Each reading carries the name of the person who took it. The hand-off counts what was still open when you took over, with the note. What you did on your shift is yours; what was open before is on the record as open.

Will the next person get a text when I hand off?

No text. The hand-off goes on their list, and they see it when they open the app. In a browser, it can reach them as an alert once they say yes when the app asks. Tell them in person too.

What if nothing is open?

The screen says: Nothing to hand off. A clean close.

Can I see who is not cleared to work?

Yes. The list says Ready, Needs check-in or No food work today. It never says why.

Can I send a nudge to someone who is late?

Yes. A person in charge can use Nag, which writes the message. You copy it and send it yourself. The app sends no texts.

How does someone become a Lead?

A manager invites them as a Lead. They stay staff and are marked person in charge.

Your binder is ready when the inspector is.
Pick your place. Start with one shift.
