Fridge temps, fryer oil, the till float, lock-up — the jobs that keep you legal and open. Written once, dealt out every day, chased automatically, and recorded with a name against every tick.
“15 minutes after open” and “30 before close” follow your actual hours — change the hours and every task moves with them. A split day gets a deck per shift, so the evening crew opens with their own list, not the morning’s leftovers. Staff swipe cards or tick a list; ten jobs due at 10:15 arrive as one screen, not ten nags.

A task can be skipped — kitchens have real days — but never silently: the reason is typed at the moment, and you see it. Overdue nudges the person, then escalates to your phone. Notifications are batched on purpose: add ten tasks in one go and staff get one buzz saying so, because ten buzzes teaches people to ignore all of them.
Mara has been notified. Clear it or skip it with a reason.
Danny: “Raining, will do at 12.”
Ovens on, Sanitise surfaces and 1 more — due 10:15 today.
Every tick keeps who, when, on time or late, and any note — “walk-in reading 3.8°C, door seal looks worn” is in the record, not on a Post-it. When the EHO asks how you monitor temperatures, the answer is a screen, not a ring binder. Set a task once and it repeats on its days until you say otherwise.
