TaskHutch for hospitality
Run openings and onboardings from a checklist
TaskHutch was built next door to restaurant software, so it already speaks the language: an opening is a checklist, a shift is a board, and when something is blocked it's usually because a delivery hasn't turned up. There's nothing here to translate into sprints or story points — you write down what needs doing and who is doing it, and that's the whole system.
Save your opening checklist as a template
Write the steps for opening a site down once and save them as a template. Every venue after that is one task with the full list copied into it, which means the process stops living in one manager's head and turns into something anybody can pick up on the day.
See the whole shift on one board
Four columns that everyone understands without being trained on them, and a Blocked column that carries the reason on the card rather than in somebody's memory. Whoever comes in tomorrow can see what's stuck and why without having to ring you about it.
Keep checklists and contacts in docs
The opening checklist, the closing checklist, the supplier numbers, what to do about a refund — written down once, searchable, and sitting beside the tasks that use them. Training somebody turns into showing them where to look.
Let the daily jobs repeat themselves
Opening, closing, the Friday stock count, the monthly deep clean. Set the rule once and a fresh copy of the task turns up on the day, checklist unticked and the right people already on it — so nobody has to remember to make it, and nobody can quietly stop doing it.
Park a thought without stopping
Mid-service is not the time to write a proper task. Notes are a wall of squares you can drop a line onto — the crates were short again, the freezer’s running warm — and turn into a real task later, when you’ve sat down.
It lives on the phone behind the bar
Install TaskHutch on a phone like any other app and it works the way a phone should: a nav bar under your thumb, the board one column at a time, and a push when something lands on you. No laptop required to tick something off.
Try an onboarding task
This is a real card made from a template. Tick a step off and the count and the progress bar move, exactly the way your team sees it on the board.
