Checklists
Opening looks different every day. It shouldn't.
Shifty's digital checklists give your team a consistent structure for every opening, rush, and close, with proof it actually happened.

Too busy to build it yourself?
Hand us your menus, training manuals, and operation guides. We'll build your entire system so your team can just log in and go.
If your checklist is a sticky note or a laminated sheet, standards are a suggestion.
Openers cut corners when nobody's watching
Closers skip steps when it gets busy late
Managers can't verify what actually got done
At multiple locations, 'consistent' means something different to everyone
Accountability without micromanagement. That's what checklists should do.
The operators we built Shifty for don't have time to stand over someone's shoulder every shift. They need a system that holds the standard when they're not in the room. That's what Shifty checklists are designed to do, not just check boxes, but close the loop.
Built for the floor
Features designed specifically for the pace and realities of restaurant operations.

Ensure every opening, shift, and close runs the same way so standards don’t slip when it gets busy.
Schedule & Time
Photo and note proof so “done” actually means done
Eliminate guesswork and rework by verifying tasks were completed correctly the first time.
Arrange garnishes to match the standard. Please provide an image to ensure freshness.

You'll Be In Good Company
1,000+ locations trust Shifty to run a more consistent shift.
Here's what operators say after putting it on their floors.
"One challenge is making sure everyone is on the same page. With Shifty you can see who's actually reading our announcements, who's actually paying attention, and — even more important — you can hold them accountable. We couldn't do that before Shifty."
"Oh my God, Shifty eliminated so much paper. And no digital pencil-whipping either — you can't go do your whole checklist at the end of your shift. The fact that every completion is time- and date-stamped with who did it is brilliant. We could show that straight to the health department."
"The new checklist feature is amazing, because accountability is our biggest downside. Being able to require photos — 'this is what it's supposed to look like every time' — for consistency and presentation in the back of house would be huge."
