How it works

Three steps from a tired scribble to a handover that holds

No template to fill, no account to create, no board for the team to adopt. You write the way you already write; Shift Notes does the structuring.

Write the notes the way you already do

At the end of the shift, put down what happened in your own words — the fridge running warm, the oat milk running out, the allergy note on table 6, the supplier question about the short pastry delivery. Rough is fine.

Shift Notes sorts it into four sections

Every handover comes back with the same four sections, each present even when there is nothing to report. The opener knows where to look, and the 86'd item does not get served anyway.

Structured handover Four sections
  • Open issues

    Fridge 2 running warm — check before service.

  • Stock flags

    No oat milk until Thursday.

  • Customer notes

    Allergy note on table 6.

  • Tasks for next shift

    Ask supplier about the short pastry delivery.

Copy it into the channel the team already uses

One control puts the whole handover on the clipboard as plain text. Paste it into the staff group chat, the notebook, wherever the opener looks first. Shift Notes formats the handover; it does not ask the team to move.

Capabilities

A formatter, not a system of record

Shift Notes does one job well: it turns your own messy sentences into the structure the next shift needs.

Four sections, every time

Open issues, stock flags, customer notes and tasks for the next shift. Each section is present even when there is nothing to report, so the opener never has to guess what was left out.

Copyable plain text

One control puts the whole handover on the clipboard. Paste it into the staff group chat or the notebook — the channel your team already reads.

No account, no board

No signup to try it, no shared board for the team to adopt, no saved history to manage. The tool formats text and returns it.

Paste your own notes and see one sample handover free, with no signup. The one-time purchase opens unlimited handovers for 30 days; after that you renew with a separate manual payment, and there is no automatic renewal. The opener and the rest of the team never pay.
