Why people use Kanbans.free for restaurants

The prep list, live

Cards move from To Prep to Done as the shift works through them, so nothing gets prepped twice.

Open and close by the book

Checklists inside a card hold every step, so the opening routine survives a new hire's first week.

No accounts for staff

One link, dropped into the group chat, works for everyone on shift.

Frequently asked questions

Can the kitchen use it on a tablet?

Yes — it runs in any browser, so a tablet on the pass works fine.

Do I need an account for every staff member?

No. Share one board link and everyone on shift can use it.

Can I start the checklist fresh each day?

Yes. A board can be reset, so a recurring opening or prep checklist starts clean for the next service.

What does it cost?

Nothing, ever. No per-location pricing and no trial.
