Pre-Shift Notes
The big board everyone reads before service.
Each line is its own note. Wrap a word in **stars** to make it gold.
Front of House
Updates, 86's, and anything the line needs.
Start a line with 86 to flag it red for the kitchen.
Reservations
Tonight's covers and the big tables.
Just the number.
Put the size like 12-top. Start with VIP to flag it gold.
Specials
Today's features. Leave any blank to hide it. Add a price by ending with | price — e.g. Pan-seared Hogfish | 32
Shoutout & Contest
Morale stuff — each gets its own celebration page.
Leave blank to hide that page from the rotation.
A colon makes a gold title. Add a prize with | prize — e.g. Dessert Challenge: most pies wins | $50 gift card. Add more than one and they rotate.
Floor Plan — Section Assignments
Set both shifts. The TV shows Lunch before 3:30pm and Dinner after. Type a server, then tap their tables.
Type a name above, then tap tables to assign them.
Recent 5-Star Reviews
Copy great reviews from TripAdvisor or Google. Each rotates on its own page.
Format each as Review text | First name | Source. Example: Best grouper in Florida! | Sarah | TripAdvisor. The five gold stars are added automatically.
This Month's Birthdays
Paste the whole month's list at once — one person per line. It sorts and formats automatically.
Accepts messy paste like Aramis Velasquez 7/4 or Harrison Hayes - 7/14, one per line. Dashes optional. Then hit Add these.
Employee of the Month
Runs all month. The board flips between a congrats intro and their favorites. Leave the name blank for a "Coming Soon" placeholder. Blank fields are hidden automatically.
Upload the photo to Google Photos, get a shareable link, and paste it. Direct upload comes with the next upgrade. Blank shows their initials.
