Confirming an allergen removal from head office

When head office removes an allergen from a group dish or product, your business keeps showing it until an owner or a manager for the whole business confirms.

Telling your team about an allergen change

Send your team one message about an allergen change from head office when you acknowledge an update or confirm a removal.

Head Office Messages and Broadcasts

Talk to each business in its Head office channel, and send broadcasts to your businesses with read and acknowledgement reports.

Signing your HACCP plan

Where to sign a HACCP plan you have been asked to sign, on the web or in the app, who gets asked, and what a signer from another site sees.

Matching certificates to training

Paddl reads the certificates your team upload and suggests which assigned training they cover. You review the matches and confirm before anything counts.

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

I hit a limit or got a payment prompt

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.

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.

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.

Finding Your Way Around

The sidebar and its sections, searching for any page, the Settings home, the bar at the bottom of a phone screen, and what the colours of Paddl's messages mean.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Staff are not getting push notifications

If notifications are not reaching a phone, the usual cause is the phone itself blocking Paddl, even when every switch inside Paddl is on.
