A shift logbook is a critical communication and accountability tool for restaurant teams. As a tactical tool, the logbook offers a consistent way for shift leaders to relay key information to restaurant management and leadership coming in for the next shift. More strategically, logbooks offer qualitative insight into a given shift, explaining why sales were above/below forecast (i.e. because of a power outage or a local event).
Logbook notes are included in Daily Insights and Daily Consolidate email for broader visibility.
