Coffee shop manager tools
PrepIt helps cafe managers and shift leads manage the work around the shift: schedule visibility, clock activity, daily tasks, checklists, tips status, inventory, recipes, training, and team access.
The problem
Cafe managers need to solve problems quickly, but a shared floor device cannot expose payroll context, employee-private data, settings, or admin controls to everyone. The system has to be useful and careful at the same time.
How PrepIt helps
Shop Mode keeps the shared iPad safe for daily use. Employee Mode unlocks personal views with a PIN. Manager Mode and the web portal provide the protected tools managers need to run the shop.
Product fit
Owner, manager, and shift-lead capabilities stay separate from regular employee workflows.
Managers can see shop status, schedule context, tasks, checklists, tips, inventory, recipes, and team areas.
Use the web portal for deeper setup and the Apple app for shop-station execution.
Default Shop Mode avoids private employee pay, manager settings, and local-only actions masquerading as shared data.
Example workflow
The details vary by shop, but the pattern is the same: managers prepare the work, staff execute it safely, and everyone uses the same connected context.
Managers configure the shop in the web portal and select the active organization and shop.
The iPad opens into shared Shop Station Mode by default.
Employees use PIN workflows for clocking and employee-safe actions.
Managers unlock Manager Mode or use the portal for protected operations and setup.
FAQ
Yes. Manager Mode can expose protected operational shortcuts when the user has the right role, while full setup remains available in the web portal.
No. Shop Mode is designed as a shared floor mode and avoids exposing private employee pay, tips, or manager-only settings.
PrepIt is shaped for coffee shop owners, general managers, shift leads, and small teams that want daily operations in one connected system.
