The app that runs a coffee shop or bakery, from the 5 AM open to the wholesale invoice
Barista schedules that publish to every phone, opening checklists and fridge temps on a QR code, orders to the roaster and the dairy in one place. And if you bake for other shops: standing orders and invoices they can pay without an account.
Before and after, for coffee shops and bakeries
The schedule lives in a group chat and changes three times before Friday
One published schedule on every phone, with open shifts anyone eligible can claim
Fridge temps on a clipboard nobody checks until the inspector does
A QR code on each fridge starts the check. Out of range fails the run and schedules a recheck
Texting the dairy at 10 PM and hoping they saw it
Every vendor has a conversation next to its orders, emailed to them if they are not on Fork
Wholesale invoices in a spreadsheet and a folder of PDFs
Invoice from the order. The café pays by card or bank from the link, the payout lands in your bank
Baristas set availability, you publish, nobody asks "am I on Saturday?"
Build the week with availability and time off in view, publish once, and every phone gets a push. The tablet by the register is the clock, and tips are split from the same timecards.
- Open shifts and trades, approved in a tap
- Kiosk clock-in on the register tablet, or GPS from a phone
- Late and missed-break flags against the scheduled shift
- Tip pool split by hours worked, kept as its own record
Opening, closing and espresso machine care, the same way every shift
Checklists start when the shift does. Machines are items with a daily clean and a weekly backflush on a schedule. Fridges carry a QR code that starts their temperature check.
- Opening and closing checklists triggered by the shift
- Daily clean and weekly inspection routines per machine
- Temperature checks from a QR code on the fridge door
- End-of-day pastry waste logged with its cost
Beans, milk and cups from every vendor, in one order screen
Standing orders to the dairy that create themselves. Vendor replies by email that land in the chat. Stock counts with par levels that turn shortfalls into an order.
- A standing order every Monday, changed one week without touching the rest
- Vendor chat over email for vendors who are not on Fork
- Stock counts with par levels and reorder suggestions (Essential)
- Fork Warehouse for shared essentials where it delivers
