I'm Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified management consultant. I've helped hundreds of kitchen teams set up their daily routines on Pilla, and in this article I'll walk you through 13 real workflows that automate a typical kitchen team's week, from the morning open through to the weekly deep cleans and probe tests. 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 kitchen team gets through a lot in a shift. This page pulls together the workflows a kitchen 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.
