Introduction
Blanket is a digital task management tool built for managers and multi-unit operators that schedules and tracks daily tasks, health & safety, and brand standard compliance.
Our core features include digital checklists, action plans, issue reporting, brand library, chat messaging, announcements, and reporting.
Blanket's mobile app is where tasks are performed while the Web Portal is where content is managed and scheduled, and where all leadership levels can view Reports.
Use this Slide Deck to explain Blanket to your team.
Log In
Users are invited by their managers by simply their cell phone number. Each time you log in, you'll use your phone number and receive a one-time-use verification code.
No usernames or passwords here!
To invite your team; login to the mobile app.
Under the MORE tab, tap on MY TEAM. Make sure you’re in the right location.
Tap the blue button “+ Add”
Add users quickly from your contacts, or manually add each by their phone number and fill in the required fields.
Tap green INVITE button.
We do recommend that all manager level users also add their emails to their profiles once they are invited. This will allow the system to send reports to these users as needed.
If your company uses SSO for all employees, even better! No invitation is needed, just read our Single Sign On Guide for quick setup.
Store Feed
The Store Feed is your location's to-do list for the day. Here you will find scheduled lists, individual tasks, and action plans (which is just a collection of tasks) that are assigned to your position and location. Each item has a due date and time, all noted on the task cards.
Lists have a schedule, and can't be started before the set start time, but you will see them on your Store Feed 8 hours earlier so that you know what's coming.
Green cards = Task List is ready to start
Orange cards = Almost overdue
Red Cards = Task list is Overdue
Grey = Not ready to start
All lists have a due time too, and if you miss it, it's gone. Sometimes lists will be accepted late, but that depends on how your managers set up the templates.

Reporting
Data drives better decision making and gives you the information you need to lead your teams.
Filter sets allow you to see exactly the information you want to see, and automated reports will send that info right to your inbox.
Scheduled Completion Percentage is THE metric of success. This is the calculation of tasks performed on time in relation to the total tasks that were scheduled.
Lists that are done ad-hoc do not contribute to this completion %, but they will be counted in total submissions.
The Scheduled Lists tab is a view of accountability. Great for General Managers and their leaders. Depending on your filter set; date, lists, and locations, you can see exactly what which lists were completed, late, missed, or archived. Drill down to see specific dates by clicking into a template from this view.
The Responses tab is where the evidence is. Great for all Managers and their leadership. Drill into a particular template to see task level data in either a table format, or a gallery format (pictured here). Use the icons by the red arrow to toggle between the two views.
This is awesome for holding your team accountable to your standards when pictures reveal compliance, or off the mark.
