What Ask Paddy can do for you

Ask Paddy can set up routines, book visits, draft paperwork, chase your team and build an audit pack. Here is what to ask for.

What are Rules & Automations?

Set up rules that prompt staff and create tasks automatically based on real conditions like the weather and forecast.

Exports, retention, legal hold and privacy

Export a conversation as a PDF for an inspector or a solicitor, set how long messages are kept, and understand when an owner can open a direct message.

Submitting Handover & End-of-Shift Reports

Raise handover notes at the end of a shift, see how the next shift picks them up at check-in, and where managers review them.

Getting Started with Paddl

Set up your account, configure your business, invite your team, and get your first checks running.

Broadcasts and acknowledgements

Send one message to everyone, a site, a group, a role or an employment type, and get a report of who read it and who acknowledged it.

A routine is not showing up in the app

Work through the most likely reasons a routine is missing from a staff member's app, starting with the one that catches people out most.

Uploading Your Certificates & Documents

Add a food hygiene or first aid certificate, a training record, or an ID document to your own profile from the app, with expiry reminders.

Downloading the Paddl App

Where to get the Paddl Assist app and how to log in the first time.

Handovers

Where handover and end-of-day reports live in the admin panel, how to acknowledge one, and what the Handovers module switches on.

Confirming and cancelling Paddy actions

Ask Paddy always shows you what it is about to do and waits for you to confirm. Here is how that works and what gets recorded.

Understanding Alerts

What Paddl alerts mean, how they are raised, and how to clear them before an inspection.

Completing Tasks & Checklists on Mobile

Find your tasks, filter by day or status, work through the items, and catch up on anything missed.

Connecting SumUp POS (Goodtill)

Ask SumUp to switch on API access, then link with your account subdomain and an owner login.

Turning a message into a job, a task or a report

A photo of a fault does not need retyping: turn the message into a maintenance job, a quick task, a handover note or a report, and the thread follows it.

Ask Paddy cannot answer a question or will not do something

Why Paddy comes back with nothing, why it sometimes declines an action on purpose, and what to do about each.

Team & Compliance Oversight (Manager)

See each staff member's compliance, drill into the detail, track visitors on site, and check section status.

Knowledge Hub and Ask Paddy

Build a searchable knowledge base, and use Ask Paddy to answer questions from it and to set work up for you.

Groups, channels and direct messages

Make a group for a project or a team, mute what you do not need, and understand why some channels cannot be left.

Shared tablets: tapping in with a PIN

A tablet behind the bar can be used by the whole team without everybody sharing one login, so check-ins and messages are attributed to the right person.

Open shifts and swaps in chat

Publish a week and the unfilled shifts land in the site channel as cards staff can claim, and a shift somebody cannot work can be given away from the thread.

Reading a message in your own language

A message written in another language shows a Translate link. Nothing is translated until somebody asks, and the original is always a tap away.

Team Chat: the basics

Where chat lives on the phone and in the admin panel, which channels you get, and what happens to a conversation when somebody leaves.

Reviewing Records & Sign-Offs (Manager)

Review submitted records, chase sign-offs and clear handovers from manager mode, and find the same list as the Inbox in the admin panel.

Your Compliance & Profile in the App

See your own training, documents, certificates, and compliance score, and change your app settings.

Manager Mode on the Mobile App

Switch into manager mode for an overview of your team, compliance, sign-offs, and quick reporting.

Signing In, Face ID & Shared Tablets

Use Face ID or a fingerprint, stay signed in, and unlock a shared tablet with its device PIN instead of signing back in.

Logging In and Troubleshooting Access

Log in, switch accounts, reset a password, and fix the most common access problems.

Admin Panel vs Mobile App

When to use the admin panel and when to use the app, and how managers move between them.

Logging Checks & Reports on the App

Use the Report tab to file deliveries, temperatures, accidents, incidents, fitness to work, complaints and maintenance: the same list as the admin panel.

The Inbox

What lands in the Inbox tab of the bell, who sees it, and how each item clears.

A staff member cannot log in

Most sign-in problems come down to the account, the invite, or the subscription rather than the password itself.

Logging Temperature Checks

Log fridge, freezer, cooking, and hot-holding temperatures, with the safe ranges and what to do when a reading is out.

Risk Assessments

Generate or write risk assessments, require staff sign-off, and keep them reviewed on schedule.

Generating & Signing Off Your SFBB Pack

Generate a Safer Food Better Business pack, assign it, sign off, and stay current with regulatory updates.

Smart Document Uploads & AI Setup

Upload your existing paperwork and let Paddl read it to build your allergens, HACCP, knowledge base, and more.

Building your first rota

Draft a week, copy last week forward, and save a template you can reuse.
