Sideworks is operations software for bars and nightlife — built around the close. Opening and closing checklists with timestamped photo proof (bar wipe-down, ice wells, liquor lockup, final walk-through), scheduling for variable late-night shifts, clean handoffs between shift leads, and QR-code guest feedback. Replace the clipboard and the morning-after guesswork.
A green check tells you a box got tapped. A timestamped photo tells you the cabinets were actually locked and the bar was actually clean. For a bar, that difference is shrinkage, liability, and the opener's first impression.
Liquor cabinets, registers, and the final walk-through — verified with a timestamped photo.
Closing notes for the opener mean no more “what happened last night?” texts.
Door staff and cleaning crews complete tasks by link — no account, no extra seat.
Free templates plus one location at no cost. Try it on your next close.
Lockup, cleaning, and cash-handling lists with photo proof and a full audit trail.
Build late-night schedules, catch overtime, and let staff swap shifts from a magic link.
Closing notes flow to the opener so every shift starts with the full picture.
QR-code surveys capture the vibe and the complaints before they hit your reviews.

Bars run on tight closings and accountability. Sideworks gives you opening and closing checklists with timestamped photo proof — bar wipe-down, ice wells, liquor lockup, final walk-through — plus shift scheduling for variable hours, clean late-night handoffs with notes, and QR-code guest feedback. It replaces clipboards and the morning-after guessing about what happened last night.
Yes. Every checklist task can require a timestamped photo, so you can verify the bar was wiped, the cabinets were locked, and the floor was mopped — from your phone, the next morning, without being there at 2 AM.
Yes. Build weekly schedules on a grid with start and end times that fit late-night shifts, catch overtime and double-bookings before you publish, and let staff request swaps and time off from a magic link.
Each shift ends with notes for the next, so the closing lead and the opener are on the same page — no more group texts trying to reconstruct what happened.
Yes. Share any checklist by public link. Door staff, cleaning crews, and contractors complete their tasks with photo proof — no account, no extra seat.
