THE PRODUCT

Six pillars of operations. One app.

Sideworks brings everything it takes to run a hospitality shift into a single app. Checklists with photo proof, scheduling, guest feedback, events, shift handoffs, and back-office maintenance — instead of a dozen disconnected tools and a stack of clipboards. Here's everything in the box.

Common questions

The product, answered.

What is included in the Sideworks product?

Sideworks covers six pillars of hospitality operations in one app: operations and checklists with photo proof, events and activations, shift management and handoffs, guest and employee surveys, team and scheduling, and a back office for documents, expenses, work orders, and maintenance.

Do I have to use every feature?

No. Most teams start with just checklists on the free tier and add scheduling, feedback, events, or maintenance when they need them. The product scales to how you actually work rather than forcing everything on day one.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The free tier includes digital checklists and one location with no credit card. Paid plans add multi-location support, scheduling, surveys, and event management.

What makes the product different from compliance tools?

Most operations tools are built for enterprise franchise auditing — binary, done-or-not-done task tracking. Sideworks shows quality with photo verification, extends to outside crews with shareable public links, and bundles the full operation — feedback, events, scheduling, back office — into one app for independent operators.

Does the whole product work on mobile?

Yes. Sideworks is mobile-first because the work happens on the floor, not at a desk. Managers and staff run checklists, schedules, and handoffs from their phones.

Ready?

One app. Every shift.

Checklists, scheduling, feedback, events, handoffs, and maintenance — free to start, set up in minutes.
