I'm Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified management consultant. I've helped hundreds of bar teams set up their daily routines on Pilla, and in this article I'll walk you through 12 real workflows that automate a typical bar team's day, from opening the bar through to the close. You can open up each template in our workflow builder playground as a starting point and experiment for yourself. If you have any suggestions or you need some help, you can email me directly.

A bar team gets through a lot in a shift. This page pulls together the workflows a bar team runs most, grouped by when you use them, so you can find the one you need and set it up in minutes.
Every workflow below is one you can build on Pilla and hand to your team to run on their phones. Open any one to see four versions, from a simple checklist up to a signed, photo-backed record, and pick the level that fits how you work.
