COSHH Management

Keep a digital COSHH register with safety data sheets, hazard info, PPE, and first aid for every chemical.

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.

How accurate is the forecast, and when it says no

How the accuracy figure is measured, what moves it, and every reason a site can have no forecast.

Late and missed tasks

When a task becomes overdue, when it becomes missed, what "missed in the busiest hour" means, and how to resolve one.

Letting Paddy suggest a week

Ask Paddy to draft a week of open shifts against the demand band and your labour target. It never publishes.

Scheduling checks around service

The routine editor shows the quiet windows in each site's day so a check lands in a lull, not the lunch rush.

What the till sync brings in

What Paddl reads from Square, how often, how long a day keeps settling, and which features each figure feeds.

Mapping Square locations to your sites

Pair each Square location with the Paddl site it feeds, and what happens to the locations you leave unmapped.

The till is not syncing

Work through a Square connection that shows an error, was revoked, or has stopped sending takings.

Connecting Square

Connect your Square account so takings arrive every half hour, with thirteen months of history to start from.

Business Rates Intelligence

Upload your rates bill and let Paddl check the figures, find relief, and verify against published valuations.

Building your first rota

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

Location Monitoring: Noise, Capacity & Refusals

Record sound readings, capacity, and refusals, which matter most for pubs, bars, nightclubs, and late venues.

Assigning Maintenance Work

Give a job to a person, a team or a contractor, and make sure the person it lands on is told.

Routines and Checklists

Build recurring checklists with rich field types, schedule them flexibly, assign them, and change them later.

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.

Planned Maintenance (PPM)

The checks and services that should happen on a cycle, from a catalogue of what a UK hospitality site is expected to do.

Approving hours and timesheets

How Paddl works out what was worked, what the flags mean, and how to correct a line.

Areas & Rooms

Divide a venue into the places work actually happens: the cellar, the customer WC, or all sixty guest rooms.

Checking your hours

Where to find what you have worked this period and whether your manager has approved it.

Closing a Site for a Period

Tell Paddl a location is shut between two dates so no tasks are created for those days, and clear any that already were.

Apply a rule to specific locations

Run a rule everywhere or only at the sites it suits.

React when a temperature is logged out of range

Automatically create a corrective task and alert managers the moment a fridge or freezer is logged out of safe range.

Send staff a task when the forecast matches

Create a task automatically when the day is forecast sunny, hot or wet.

Show weather, wind and tide at check-in

Give staff live conditions for their location the moment they check in.

Create your first automation

Use a starter template to set up a working rule in a couple of minutes.

What are Rules & Automations?

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

Eligibility warnings on the rota

What each warning means, and why Paddl warns you rather than stopping you.

Importing Data with CSV

Bulk-load equipment, suppliers, and allergens from a spreadsheet instead of adding them one at a time.

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.

Understanding Alerts

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

Risk Assessments

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

Allergen Matrix

Build an accurate allergen matrix with AI, track may-contain and removable allergens, import in bulk, and keep it current.

Logging Checks & Reports on the App

Use the Report tab to log deliveries, temperatures, incidents, accidents, complaints, and maintenance.

Completing Tasks & Checklists on Mobile

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

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.

Using Offline Mode

How the app keeps working with no signal, what gets queued, and how it syncs when you reconnect.

I cannot type a decimal point in a number field

Why a number field would not accept 1.5 or a half, and how to get it working.

A staff member is blocked from a task or area

Some tasks and areas are gated behind required training or a role, so a block is often working as intended until the requirement is met.

We keep getting logged out on a tablet

Why a shared tablet seemed to log itself out or "expire" mid-shift, and how the device PIN replaces that.

Equipment is missing or not raising service alerts

A fridge that will not appear when logging temperatures, or a service reminder that never arrives, usually comes down to its status.

Staff are not getting push notifications

If reminders and alerts are not reaching a phone, the cause is usually the device, the notification settings, or the type of task.

A document is not showing for staff to sign

When a policy or document does not reach the people who need to sign it, check whether it is archived, who it is assigned to, and where they are.

A temperature log or report is missing

If a reading or report you expected is not in the records, check where and how it was logged before assuming it was lost.

I hit a limit or got a payment prompt

Being stopped from adding a location, a user, or a file usually means you have reached what your current plan includes.

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.

A maintenance job is not showing, or nobody was told

A job that will not appear on somebody phone, an assignment that told nobody, or a request that never became a job.

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.

An alert is not being raised

When you expect Paddl to flag something and it does not, check whether the alert was already handled or whether the thing it watches is switched off.

Clocking in from a shift

Starting a shift from your rota, what the location check does, and what happens with no signal.

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.

Manager Mode on the Mobile App

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

Setting Up Your Business Profile & Locations

Configure business details, add each venue, and set opening hours, timezones, and monitoring thresholds.

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.

A routine is not generating any tasks at all

When a routine creates no tasks for anyone, the cause is usually the routine setup itself rather than who can see it.

Monitoring Customer Reviews

Bring your reviews into Paddl, read the AI sentiment and themes, catch compliance flags, and see who was on shift.

Customer Complaints

Log complaints, categorise them, link a corrective action, and track resolution so patterns surface early.

Legal Guidance

Triage a tricky situation, link the report it relates to, see your insurance options, and export an evidence pack.

Generating & Signing Off Your SFBB Pack

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