Ongoing
A day in the life

What it looks like once it's running.

  • Open

    The opener runs the opening checklist on their phone, snapping photo proof as they go. You can see the open was done right before you arrive.

  • During service

    The published schedule tells everyone where they belong. Guest feedback comes in by QR code, and any issue surfaces while you can still fix it.

  • Close & hand off

    The closer completes the closing checklist with photo proof and leaves shift notes. The next manager starts with the full picture, not a guess.

  • Behind the scenes

    Preventive maintenance stays on schedule, expenses route for approval, and SOPs live in a searchable library — without anyone chasing email threads.

Common questions

Getting started, answered.

How long does it take to get started?

Most teams are up and running in under five minutes. You create a free account, set up your location, and start from free checklist templates or import your own. There is no installation, no sales call, and no IT project.

Do I need to migrate data or do a big setup?

No. You can start with a single checklist and grow from there. Import existing checklists or pick from templates, then add scheduling, feedback, events, or maintenance whenever you are ready. You can run Sideworks alongside your current process and switch at your own pace.

How do staff start using it?

Invite your team, or simply share a checklist by public link — staff, cleaning crews, and vendors complete tasks with photo proof and no account. Because it is mobile-first and intuitive, most people pick it up on their first shift without training.

What happens after setup?

Day to day, your team runs their assigned checklists, the schedule is published with email alerts, shift notes hand off to the next manager, and guest feedback and maintenance flow into one dashboard you can check from anywhere.

Is there a cost to try it?

No. The free tier includes digital checklists and one location with no credit card. You only move to a paid plan when you want multi-location support, scheduling, surveys, or events.
