Sideworks SOP software keeps your standard operating procedures, manuals, and recipes in one searchable library — then turns them into recurring checklists with photo proof. The closing procedure isn't a PDF nobody opens; it's a list your team runs every night. When knowledge lives in the system, new managers ramp faster and every shift runs the same way.
In an industry with 79.6% annual turnover, the person who knows how things work is always one resignation away from leaving. SOP software moves that knowledge out of people's heads and into a system that any new hire can follow on day one.
When staff churn is this high, documented procedures are how consistency survives the people who leave.
Clear procedures free managers from re-explaining the basics so they can coach instead of firefight.
SOPs, manuals, recipes, and contracts in one place — categorized and searchable instead of scattered across drives and binders.
Add PDFs, images, and spreadsheets, or link to docs you keep elsewhere. Title, describe, and categorize each one.
Turn the steps in a procedure into a recurring checklist with assignment, schedule, and photo verification.
The team follows the procedure as a checklist, and you get proof it was done — not just a binder you hope they read.
Upload PDFs, images, and spreadsheets or add links. Every document is titled, described, and categorized.
Filter by category and search by keyword so the right SOP, recipe, or manual is one query away.
Convert documented procedures into recurring checklists with assignment, scheduling, and photo proof.
New hires follow the documented procedure instead of asking the nearest veteran. Consistency that scales.
Documenting procedures is step one. Running them is where Sideworks earns its place:
Turn any SOP into a recurring checklist with photo verification.
Schedule the preventive upkeep your SOPs call for.
Checklists, scheduling, feedback, events, and maintenance in one app.
SOP (standard operating procedure) software stores the documented steps for how your operation runs — opening, closing, food safety, recipes, training — so the knowledge lives in the system instead of in binders and people's heads. Sideworks combines an SOP document library with executable checklists so procedures are both findable and enforceable.
You can upload PDFs, images, and spreadsheets, or add links to documents you keep elsewhere. Each document has a title, description, and category, and the library is searchable so the right SOP is one query away.
A shared drive stores files but does nothing with them. In Sideworks your SOP library sits next to the checklists that execute those procedures — so the closing SOP isn't just a document a manager hopes someone read, it's a recurring checklist with photo proof that it was actually done.
Yes. The procedures you document become recurring checklists with assignment, scheduling, and timestamped photo verification. That's the difference between writing a procedure down and knowing it happened.
Your SOP library is scoped to your location and available to your team. Checklists built from those procedures can also be shared with outside crews and vendors by public link — no account required.
Sideworks offers a free tier to get started with no credit card. The document library and checklists are part of the same platform alongside scheduling, feedback, and maintenance.
Store your procedures and make them executable. Free to start — no credit card required.
