Daybook is an iPhone app. Each kitchen is set up and activated by Daybook, so it’s ready the first time your staff open it.
Your checklists, equipment and team, set up for your kitchen.
Staff install the app on their iPhone and enter the kitchen code.
Each person enters their own PIN and signs as themselves.
Today, the Week and the inspection record take care of themselves.
The app, screen by screen
Step 1
The phone is set to one kitchen with a kitchen code. The first screen shows the team as friendly faces with their job: manager, chef, barista, baker, front of house, bartender, kitchen porter, host.
Each person taps their face and enters their own PIN. After several wrong tries, the account locks for 15 minutes.
Step 2
A greeting with the date, and a switch between Kitchen and Front of house so each person sees their own list.
A progress bar shows how much is done. A copper banner shows what needs attention. Cards are grouped as Kitchen, Front of house and Whole site.

Each fridge, freezer and hot-hold is a row with its safe range. Type the reading, tick it, add a comment if something was done, then save and sign. AM and PM are separate.
If someone signs again, the first entry stays and a dated correction is added beside it.

For managers and owners: a grid of checks against days, Monday to Sunday, marked signed, due, missed or ahead.
Anything missed appears under Needs review. An owner who isn’t in the kitchen can see in ten seconds whether the diary was done.

Each person’s training is stored with a photo of the certificate, taken in the app, with an expiry badge.
Managers and the owner see it. Staff don’t. Daybook records training; it doesn’t provide or certify it.

Pick the dates and choose what goes in: daily record sheets, exceptions and notes, the training register and certificate images.
The result is a designed PDF to hand over or email. Every entry shows who signed it and when.
