Rota, handover & the day-to-day
Plan shifts, pass handovers, post announcements, raise stock requests and assign one-off tasks.

Rota & time-off
Managers plan and publish shifts; everyone sees their own rota on their phone, including today's shift right on the Today screen. Time-off requests and approvals happen in the same place.
Handover & announcements
- Handover: leave what the next shift needs to know on the record, not in the group chat.
- Announcements: post to the whole team or one site and see who has read it.
Stock & one-off tasks
- Stock requests: the floor raises what's running low; managers triage in one list.
- Tasks: assign one-off jobs — a delivery to check, a deep clean — with priorities and due times.
All of it sits on Today's “Around the cafe” band on mobile, with live counts.
Sensors (optional)
If you use wireless temperature sensors, ProCafe has an open API: create a sensor key on the web Sensors page, point your hardware at it, and out-of-range readings raise alerts automatically. Manual checks keep working alongside.
