Build and publish a weekly schedule
Review the live week, build the next week in the editor, and publish shifts so staff can see the final schedule.
Use the schedule board to monitor coverage during the week
Use the schedule board as a live manager view for coverage, not only as a one-time publishing surface.
Use KDS during service
Read the live queue, mark line items complete, clear finished tickets, and know where scheduled orders and chime controls live.
Set up the timeclock and install it as an app
Create a setup code in the admin app, install the timeclock on a tablet or phone, and register the device.
Submit and approve leave requests
Use one leave page for the full time-off flow: submit requests, track status, and approve or deny requests for your team.
Review timecards and fix missed punches
Use Weekly Timecards to scan for open punches, compare scheduled vs actual hours, and correct obvious errors before payroll.
Troubleshoot KDS sync, sound, and order visibility
Use a fast triage order for missing tickets, silent devices, scheduled orders, and screens that do not match each other.
Set up a kitchen display screen
Generate a setup code, register the tablet or phone, and choose the device settings that matter before service starts.
Generate forms, record tax payments, and deliver W-2s
Use Tax Center for payroll forms and deposit tracking, then make employee W-2 access part of your year-end routine.
Use the shared timeclock every day
Walk up to the shared device, tap your card, clock in or out, and know what to do if the screen is offline or looks wrong.
Turn recipes into wholesale products
Use the recipe itself as the sellable product, add it to the guide, and know why an item may still not appear on the wholesale order screen.
Update Google Business hours with confidence
Use the hours page to update the live Google schedule carefully so public business hours stay accurate.
Record journals, sales, payouts, and memorized transactions
Choose the right accounting workflow for each entry, keep transactions balanced, and save recurring work as memorized templates.
Create recipes that cost and sell correctly
Build recipes with clear names, units, and sellable sizes so costing, production, and wholesale all stay in sync.
Set up inventory depletion and Square mapping
Map Square items to recipes, test the sync in dry-run mode, and review depletion results before you let inventory write automatically.
Reconcile statements and resolve exceptions
Upload the statement first, review the matching results, work the exception queue, and close the session only after the checks pass.
Compare vendor prices and keep ingredient costs current
Review price changes, compare vendor packs carefully, and update the cost source that should drive recipe pricing.
Configure payroll tax setup and reminder rules
Finish the payroll tax profile, add state details, and set reminder rules so filings and deposits do not sneak up on the team.
Build and maintain order guides for purchasing
Use order guides to make repeat purchasing faster, more consistent, and easier for new buyers to follow without guesswork.
Create customer records and keep the customer list clean
Use the customer list and new-customer flow to keep records easy to find before orders, notes, and automations depend on them.
Use the universal AI assistant safely
Ask clear read questions in plain language, review drafted write actions carefully, and know when a human check is still required.
Review sales-tax reports and resolve unassigned tax
Use the sales-tax report to see what was collected, what is unassigned, and which items need cleanup before filing.
Create and organize internal guides
Write short guides that are easy to search, keep the title and structure clear, and use the knowledge library as the home for internal SOPs.
Update your tax profile and W-2 delivery preferences
Use the My Account taxes tab to update withholding details, set the effective date, and choose whether W-2 copies can be delivered electronically.
