Sound Familiar?

You explained it again. And it still didn't happen.

You built the checklists. You ran the pre-shift meeting. You explained it again. And it still didn't happen. Here's what that actually looks like.

01
"Did you do this? Did you do that?"

You're spending your best hours following up on tasks that should already be done. Opening lists exist, but nobody's accountable to them when you're not watching.

02
Vacation means anxiety, not rest.

You leave for a few days and things fall apart. Overtime goes unchecked. The coffee maker overflows. Nobody tells you until it's a problem.

03
You find out from Yelp, not your team.

Something went wrong on the floor. An upset customer walked out. Your team handled it by not telling you. The first you hear about it is a 2-star review.

04
The system is you.

If your front-of-house manager quit tomorrow, half your processes walk out the door with them. The knowledge is in people's heads, not in any system you control.

05
Things only happen when you ask.

The weekly staff update. The equipment maintenance. The inventory check. If you don't follow up, it doesn't get done. And following up is its own full-time job.

06
"We've got it, we've got it."

Your team smooths things over in the moment, but the real story only comes out later. You need visibility into what actually happened, not what people say happened.

How It Works

From chaos to closed in three steps.
No binders. No training.

If it shouldn't take longer than explaining it once, it won't.

Step 01

Speak your process. We build the checklist.

Open the app and talk through your opening or closing routine, the same way you'd explain it to a new hire. Buttoned listens and automatically breaks it down into a step-by-step flow. Update them anytime by just talking.

Converting to checklist…
1
Check walk-in fridge temperature
2
Photo of alarm panel — armed
3
Confirm grease trap is clear
4
Lock front door + test handle
Step 02

Your team checks off. With proof.

Each step can require whatever you need: a checkmark, a photo, a temperature reading, a note. Geofencing confirms they're actually on-site. Timestamps confirm when. No more "I didn't do it" back-and-forth.

Step 03

You get a sealed record. Not a phone call.

When open or close is complete, you get a notification with the details. If something's out of range or a step was missed, you know immediately. Not next week. Not from a Yelp review.

Why Operators Are Signing Up

Built with owners who are tired of being the
only thing holding their business together.

"

I'm left constantly almost micromanaging. Did you do this? Did you do that? A lot of my time that's wasted is meetings and managing people.

— Cafe owner, 7+ years
"

If my front-of-house manager just quit with no plan, I'd be in trouble. I've given them so much autonomy that now it's a problem.

— Restaurant owner-operator
"

I'm sitting on a beach on a rare vacation and I get the call: the coffee maker's not working and nobody knows what to do.

— Multi-role business owner
Who It's For

For the owner who needs their business to run the right way, even when they're not in the room.

If you recognize yourself in any of these, you're exactly who we built this for.

Single-location operators

You're the owner, the head chef, and the operations manager. You need your team to execute without you standing over them.

Growing to 2–5 locations

You can't be in two places at once. Buttoned gives you the visibility to manage multiple sites without cloning yourself.

Franchise-ready businesses

You know your model works. Now you need standardized, verifiable processes that prove it works anywhere, with anyone running it.

Early Access

Stop being your business's single point of failure.

We're onboarding a small group of operators to shape the product. You'll get hands-on input into what gets built, direct access to the founding team, and a tool designed around your actual workflow.
