- Pick a colour — your tables are marked with your initial on the floor map
- Tap Begin shift
💡 Your name and colour pre-fill from your last shift on the same account — just confirm and tap Begin. Switching restaurants? The name field starts blank so there's no bleed-over from other accounts.

Refresh button
The ↻ Refresh button on the shift start screen pulls the latest data from the cloud — new menu items the manager added, updated specials, or 86'd items. In demo mode it resets the sample floor to its original state. The floor map briefly fades out and back in so you know it worked, and a toast tells you how many items and tables were loaded.

Reading the floor map
Table tiles are colour-coded by status:
Tile indicators:
Timer — minutes since order was submitted. Turns green → amber → red as time passes. If a table shows -- the order has no timestamp yet.
Guest count — number of guests seated (set when the order is taken)
Initial pill — shows the server's initial in their colour on their assigned tables (server role only — managers, hosts and bartenders see a clean map)
Status bar buttons:
The top-right of the floor map shows a ⚙ Manager button when you're logged in as manager — tap it to jump to the manager screen. Servers see a ⇄ Server button to return to shift start if they need to change role.
⭐ Specials chip — if today's specials have been added by the manager, a ⭐ Specials chip appears as the second chip in the category row (right after All). Tap it to see only specials.
- Empty (grey) — available, tap to seat guests
- Ordered — order submitted, kitchen working on it
- Ready! — food is up, time to run it
- Check — guest waiting on the bill

Modifiers & allergen flags
Tap any menu item with modifiers to open the modifier screen:
- If the item has a photo, it appears at the top of the modal — turn your phone around to show the guest exactly what it looks like
- Toggle modifications on/off (e.g. "No lemon", "Medium rare", "Extra sauce")
- Select a side dish if applicable
- ✓ No allergies is pre-selected by default — tap any allergen chip to flag it. These print in RED CAPS on the kitchen ticket
⚠ For severe allergens (peanut, shellfish) — always verbally confirm with the kitchen in addition to flagging in the app.
⚠ If an item is 86'd, a warning popup appears before you can add it. Confirm with the kitchen before proceeding.

Kitchen notes
At the bottom of every modifier screen is a prominent amber 📝 Kitchen note field with a prints on ticket badge.
Use it for specific requests that aren't covered by modifier toggles:
The note prints directly under that item on the kitchen ticket, on the same line as any modifier toggles. It clears automatically when the modal closes so nothing carries over to the next order.
Use it for specific requests that aren't covered by modifier toggles:
- No onions on the tacos
- Sunny side up eggs
- Extra sauce on the side
- Severe peanut allergy — use separate prep area
The note prints directly under that item on the kitchen ticket, on the same line as any modifier toggles. It clears automatically when the modal closes so nothing carries over to the next order.
💡 Use seat notes (📝 on the seat chip) for general instructions about a guest. Use kitchen notes for specific instructions about a single item.
