FlowStack
Operations system for restaurant and food service teams.
The Problem
Restaurant operations run on paper checklists, WhatsApp groups, and hope. Managers spend half their day chasing updates. Supervisors can't see what's done and what's not. Workers get tasks through group chats that scroll past in minutes.
Generic project management tools don't work here. The staff aren't at desks. The internet is unreliable. The workflow is shift-based, not sprint-based.
What FlowStack Does
FlowStack is an operations system built specifically for restaurant and food service teams:
- Automated checklists — Daily, weekly, monthly schedules that generate automatically. No one has to remember to create them.
- Smart task assignment — Load balancing across staff so no one gets overloaded. Assign by person or by role.
- POS-synced sales tracking — Pulls real-time data from StoreHub. Daily targets, incentive calculations, and progress — all automatic.
- WhatsApp notifications — Morning briefings, overdue alerts, sales celebrations. Meets the team where they already are.
- Role-based dashboards — Managers see everything. Supervisors see their department. Workers see their tasks. Nothing more, nothing less.
Why It Works
Every feature is designed for the reality of food service: staff who aren't tech-savvy, environments where speed matters more than polish, and shifts where things need to work the first time. QR codes for quick checklist access. WhatsApp instead of another app to install. Dashboards that load fast on cheap phones.
Where It's At
Currently running operations for a coffee chain — managing daily checklists, tracking sales against targets, and keeping the team aligned through WhatsApp.
Watching restaurant teams manage daily operations with paper checklists and group chats made it obvious — they needed a system built for how they actually work, not another generic project tool.
