How These Templates Save You Time

Most restaurant managers rebuild the same spreadsheets every week — a schedule here, an inventory sheet there, formulas that break the moment someone adds a row. These are already structured the way a working operation needs: roles broken out, formulas locked in, totals that update themselves.

1

Save a master copy

Duplicate the file each week or each count so you never type over your only version.

2

Use Excel or Google Sheets

Both downloads are .xlsx files. To use in Google Sheets: File → Import → Upload, then choose “Replace spreadsheet.” Every formula carries over.

3

Make them yours

Adjust the pre-built categories, roles, and stations to match your menu. The hours, labor-cost, and variance formulas follow automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these templates really free?

Yes. Download them, use them, change them. No signup, no email wall, no strings attached.

Do they work in Google Sheets?

Yes — both are .xlsx files that import cleanly into Google Sheets. Open Sheets, then File → Import → Upload and choose “Replace spreadsheet.”

Can I edit the categories and items?

Yes. Everything is editable. The pre-built sections and items — five inventory categories, role-based schedule sections — are starting points, not locked.

What if I run more than one location?

The spreadsheets work per location. If you’re managing several and tired of re-keying the same labor and inventory numbers, that’s exactly what Sideworks automates.
