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.
Free templates or custom checklists with timestamped photo proof, recurring schedules, and a searchable document library for SOPs.
Recurring event templates, vendor collaboration in one place, and post-event reports that keep ownership and management aligned.
Daily shift notes and seamless manager handoffs so nothing falls through the cracks, plus performance tracking for clear, consistent feedback.
QR-code guest feedback and employee satisfaction surveys surface problems — in the dining room and in the team — before they escalate.
Onboard staff, build weekly schedules with labor cost estimates, catch conflicts, and export hours to payroll.
Document repository, expense approvals, work orders, vendor directory, and preventive maintenance schedules — the work that usually lives in email and spreadsheets.
Start with free templates or build your own. Every task can include timestamped photo verification so managers see the quality of work — not just a green checkbox. Shareable links extend any checklist to contractors, vendors, and cleaning crews without extra logins or seats.
Verify quality from anywhere with timestamped photos.
Send a checklist to crews and vendors — no login, no extra seats.
Every shift ends with notes for the next manager.
Free templates plus one location at no cost.
The same six pillars apply differently depending on what you run. See the fit for your business:
FOH/BOH checklists, scheduling, feedback, and maintenance.
Shared-space coordination, vendor links, and events.
Housekeeping, maintenance, and cross-department handoffs.
Closing checklists with photo proof and clean handoffs.
Simple opens, food-safety logs, and small-team scheduling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Checklists, scheduling, feedback, events, handoffs, and maintenance — free to start, set up in minutes.
