Restaurants run on shift handovers: what ran out, what needs ordering, which fridge is playing up. Notes passed on by text or scribbled on the back of a docket get lost, and the opening shift finds out the hard way.
How restaurants and cafés set up Tandem App
- Create #handover, #kitchen, #front-of-house and #orders, and pin the current rota in #general.
- Post a handover at the end of each shift, and use reactions so the next shift confirms they have read it.
- Turn equipment problems into tasks: "Walk-in fridge seal", "Coffee machine service", with an owner and priority.
- Keep allergen sheets, opening checklists and supplier contacts in Docs.
Clients and outside people
An equipment engineer you use regularly could join a #maintenance channel as a Chat only guest. Most kitchens keep everything internal.
