Homebase alternative
Made for restaurants — not for everyone.
Homebase is a popular team-management app used across many kinds of small business. standley is built for one: the restaurant floor. Every feature — the door tap, the closing list, the review cards — is shaped for how a dining room actually runs, and it does the one thing general tools don't: turn service into Google reviews.

The difference
It grows the restaurant, not just staffs it
General team apps schedule people and track hours. standley does that and helps fill the room: every server gets a QR code — on a wooden card or their phone — that puts a guest one tap from a Google review, name attached. A pilot restaurant pulled over 300 reviews in its first month. No general-purpose scheduling app is built for that.
Per-server QR codes → one tap to a Google review
Weekly leaderboard and automatic recognition
Engraved wooden review cards, $14.99 each
Restaurant-shaped ops
The floor's language, not a generic template
Checklists come in opening, mid, and closing — the way a dining room really runs — and show only while staff are clocked in. The NFC time clock lives on a tag by the kitchen door with geofencing. Records include signed write-ups. It reads like it was made by someone who's worked a Saturday night, because it was.

Staff actually open it
Recognition your team races for
Front of house competes on reviews; the kitchen competes on tasks and attendance — each on its own board, with medals and weekly cycles. It's the rare staff app your team wants to open, because there's something in it for them.
Common questions
Is standley a good Homebase alternative for restaurants?
If you run a restaurant, it's worth a serious look. Homebase serves many kinds of small business; standley is built only for restaurants and adds a review-generation engine general tools don't have. Pricing and features on other apps change, so compare current details on their site as well.
What makes standley restaurant-specific?
Everything is shaped for the floor: opening/mid/closing checklists, an NFC time clock on the kitchen door, per-server review cards, and FOH-vs-BOH leaderboards. It's not a generic template with a restaurant label.
How much does standley cost?
From $59 a month per location, with every feature included — plans differ by team size, not by tier. You start free for 3 months, no credit card.
