Built around the shift
Opening, mid, and closing — the way a floor really runs
Write each routine once and standley shows it at the right time: opening for the morning crew, mid for the afternoon crew's start-of-shift, closing for the last team out. Staff only see the lists that match their role, department, and day — no scrolling past tasks that aren't theirs.

Opening / mid / closing timings
Each person sees only their tasks
Photo proof
“Done” you can actually see
For the tasks that matter — the walk-in temp, the wiped line, the locked safe — require a photo to check it off. Add a reference photo so there's no question what “done” looks like. Completions land in real time, so you watch items check off from the office or from home.
Require a photo as proof on any task
Attach a reference photo of the standard
Completions appear live as they happen
Only while on the clock
Tasks show up when they're supposed to
Checklists are visible only while a staff member is clocked in — so the closing list can't get quietly checked off at noon, and the record reflects who was actually there doing the work.
Before you lock up
An alert before close, not a surprise tomorrow
If the day's list isn't finished, the dashboard card pulses and you get an email 90 minutes before closing. You keep a 14-day history of every check-off, so a pattern is easy to spot and easy to coach.

Common questions
Can I require photo proof on tasks?
Yes. Any task can require a photo to be checked off, and you can attach a reference photo showing exactly what “done” should look like. It's how you know the walk-in was actually wiped, not just ticked.
Do checklists reset every day?
Recurring checklists reset every morning. You write the opening, mid, and closing routines once, and standley shows each to the right crew at the right time, then starts fresh the next day.
How do I know if the closing list didn't get finished?
If the day's tasks aren't complete, the owner dashboard card pulses and you get an email 90 minutes before closing — so you can fix it that night instead of discovering it at open.
Can staff check off closing tasks early?
Checklists are only visible while a staff member is clocked in, and the record reflects who did the work and when — so the closing list can't be quietly cleared at noon.
Write your closing list once
Set your opening, mid, and closing routines, turn on photo proof where it counts, and know what's done before you lock up. Free for 7 days.
